I've always thought #2 is especially important when the submitter
is a beginner to either D, dmd/druntime/Phobos or the review
process; we should aim to foster a culture where the barrier to
entry is as low as possible. It's always nice to see more
returning submitters.
After my review binge, Phobos open pull requests are 44, a
historical low. Please hop on and let's drain that pipe
entirely!
Thanks for the reviews. It would be really awesome if we could
get the queue under control. I feel we are heading there.
