Notify the list!
Simple as that.
If there is no progress, it means this is a complex PR that needs attention.
Just adding reviewers keep the issue github-centric.

If some PR waits for a long time without any review, how to make progress?
For example, this PR sent two weaks ago:

Hi all,
I feel that this thread is getting too long without a real outcome
Some observations from my daily interactions with the project:
- I like doing reviews on github and I think that many people in this
thread would agree that this flow is good.
- I like to be able to see all bugs in one place and get statistics for
the ASF reports
What I don’t feel right
- even if I spend time daily on reviewing patches there are still changes
that I miss and it is hard to get the flow on release date
- some breaking changes are not discussed enough with the community since
there are some people that do not have time to review code on gihub.
As a way going forward I propose that we improve in 2 aspects
- All breaking commits should be discusses on dev so that people get
enough time to digest the change and even better get involved int the flow
- all breaking changes should be documented on the release confluence page
before merging so that we don’t miss mentioning them on release date.
- there should be at least 1 independent reviewer (not from the same
company) so that a patch is merged except board changes (ex an employee
from the same company merges a patch submitted by another employee from the
same company, for a board provided by the same company)
Thanks
Alin

Subject: Re: DISCUSSION - Usage of mailing lists for apache projects
Hi Lwazi,
It is not sarcarm, I'm talking about facts.
Also I didn't say Sebastien points aren't valid, but is diverting from the
real issue.
The issue is not if the discussion is happening here or there, the Problem
is that we don't have enough reviewers.
So, first step is that NuttX needs to increase the user base, but have few
users really engaged with the project, reviewing patches every single day.
Currently today he have few: Petro and Xiang are exceptional on this point.
They are my inspiration to try do more!
Welcome back go NuttX Lwazi (I'm not been sarcastic, I'm happy to hear
from you again! You have a great knowledge of BLE can we need! I was
expecting you to share that working example of BLE application using our
BLE stack).
BR,
Alan

Sebastien,
If all the discussions that happens on github start to happen here,
this mailing list will be just like the nuttx-commits mailing list.
I'll take this as sarcasm. Sebastien is making a lot of valid points,
in good faith, and being dismissive does not help the community.
