We have a new tool now to help with that in https://spark-prs.appspot.com. In terms of the set of open PRs itself, it is large but note that there are also 2800 *closed* PRs, which means we close the majority of PRs (and I don't know the exact stats but I'd guess that 90% of those are accepted and merged). I think one problem is that with GitHub, people often develop something as a PR and have a lot of discussion on there (including whether we even want the feature). I recently updated our "how to contribute" page to encourage opening a JIRA and having discussions on the dev list first, but I do think we need to be faster with closing ones that we don't have a plan to merge. Note that Hadoop, Hive, HBase, etc also have about 300 issues each in the "patch available" state, so this is some kind of universal constant :P.
