Hi all,
This topic was brought up in the triage meeting today. Numpy is seeing
a huge surge in the number of PRs (current open PRs: 253) which could
means two things: 1. Increase in volume of incoming PRs 2. Not enough
reviewers to review the PRs.
One thing that was discussed in the meeting was to add a stale label :
"61 - Stale" which has already been added by Sebastian.
The community needs some help here and I think you can help
irrespective of your level of experience with the numpy codebase:
1. Experienced numpy developers - To help review PRs for the areas
they are already familiar with.
2. New contributors - Can help tag a stale PR or summarizing a long
running discussing and next or reviewing PRs/triaging issues (for
example DOC PRs should be a good starting point).
Numpy community has been generous with Triage access and if you are
interested in Triaging PRs or Issues, please reply on this thread and
a committer should probably be able to help.
I welcome more inputs on what we should do to reduce the number of
open PRs, and what would help increase contributors or for
contributors to do more reviews.

Great initiative, it certainly would be nice to grow the community of
contributors.
Just to be clear: typically new participants begin commenting on open
PRs and issues, especially finding issues and PRs that have gone stale
and can be closed. Anyone can comment on a github issue or PR, no extra
rights needed. Once they learn their way around the community, the
codebase, and the process, we can grant triage rights.
