I see that my work has now been merged. Thanks for the effort everyone.

Our goal was to cut it down to 25

I don't think the amount of open work is the problem. The metrics that matter IMO:

1. The time and likelihood to get a review after submitting a pr or completing changes requested to it. If the pr stalls because of the submitter, that does not matter. But if the tests pass and the reviewer has addressed all concerns, the less he has to push the reviewers the better.

2. Times one has to make changes before having the work accepted. The pr should not have to be perfect to get merged, but of course it must break nothing unless it's essential.

3. The likelihood of the work getting accepted at all, if pushed to the final decision. I think the state of that is good already: I have got nothing rejected what wasn't because I myself overlooked something.
