Right, but an external reviewer can point out mistakes that can make the PR submitter improve the PR, which in turns makes it more likely that a Xamarin employee jumps and does the final merge operation.

That's a good point. However, let's imagine we create such "OpenMono"
project. We still wouldn't accept pull requests that haven't been
reviewed by anyone, right?

So then, the lesson maybe to learn here is that maybe it's not enough to
propose pull requests, but one should review the pull requests of others
before getting angry about Xamarin not having time to review patches.
