Bad idea. Take for example this one of mine
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2793
that sits
there for more than 20 days. I've addressed all concerns and
now it's
waiting for someone who feels responsible for std.container to
pull it.
Now four things can happen:
1. Someone pulls it. Fine.
2. Someone says, that after consideration this is not suitable
for
std.container. Fine.
3. Someone raises more QOI concerns. Fine.
4. Someone says, that the pull is rejected, because it was
sitting there
for more than 20 days. It would be my very last pull request.
Period.
Thanks for raising attention to this. I didn't know about your
pull request. A while ago I found my Inbox flooded by
github-related messages so I directed them into a different
folder. That has right now 13113 unread messages.
Your work is interesting and necessary. I shall destroy it soon
:o).

That reply was not about my pull request specifically. Since it
basically consists of two new files, it can stay there for months
without generating any additional work for me. But it is a good
counterexample to the »just close old stuff«-policy.
