To expand a bit on what Luke said about this, I'm currently dedicated to
the community and my primary goal is to focus on open pull requests.  For
at least the entire month of November I'll be dedicated to this task and we
won't be rotating people on a weekly basis.  Our hope is that a dedicated
person increases overall pull request throughput by reducing the context
switching associated with rotating team members into this position.

Initially, I'm going to focus on making sure as many open pull requests and
issues have clear "next actions."  If it's not clear what the next action
is, then there's a good chance the pull request will get stuck in limbo.

Our intent is that someone will remain dedicated to community pull requests
beyond November and that there may be more than one person dedicated to
this task.  I can't really commit to this beyond November but for at least
the next month there's a person dedicated to this work.
