Github user zentol commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5834 Generally I would refrain from pinging specific committers. This can be counter-productive as it discourages other committers, or even contributors, from taking a look. Similarly, pinging a committer in every PR because you saw them reviewing other PRs at the time (as has happened to me last week) isn't that helpful either. It just pushes even more work/pressure on the few committers that actually do reviews. (Note that frequent pinging inherently puts more work on me as i actually monitor all PR updates!) At last, please keep in mind that not all PRs have the same priority, especially when working towards the next release. Documentation changes (#5773) _can_ be merged after a release (since the docs aren't part of the release!), code-cleanups (#5777, #5799) and minor fixes (#5798) are usually non-critical and always pose the risk of introducing new bugs which is the last thing we want shortly before a release.
