Anyone can review, but you need at least one committer approval / review
to get a pr landed.

Hello

Anyone can do a review of the code and build and feasibility of a change.
It only requires commit privileges to actually merge something.

Doing the hard work of reviewing/testing the PRs is a *great* way to earn
merit.

Much of the PRs that tend to hang around are from people contributing a
specific thing and those are some of the most challenging. We as a
community then take on support of those things for function, License and
Notice adherence, etc.. On the other hand, these folks are also the ones
that can often start contributing elsewhere and building merit and earning
commit and even PMC status. So we have to invest one way or another. But
for sure this is not easy to do well as time has shown.

Nissim, in your case the contribution is probably cool/good/useful. What
could help you get more attention on it is helping with bug fixes or
reviewing other peoples contributions/etc.. Not saying anyone is checking
whether you do that or not but if they see more of your effort it *does*
help improve likelihood of getting merge attention. Not required...just
sharing another perspective.

Regardless thanks for the contribution and hopefully someone is able to
review soon.

Thanks
