Well my earlier plea seems like it fell on deaf ears, and we've seen only minimal assistance coming to maintain the PR queue since I posted this. I'll ask nicely once more. If you're an organisation involved in QGIS development, you NEED to donate time to maintaining this list. It's not enough to just ensure your own PRs get through the queue, you HAVE to help with the shared burden of getting others PRs reviewed and merged. This callout applies to ALL organisations who are making money from core QGIS development. You know who you are, and you can ALL afford to donate 30 minutes of a staff member's time each week to helping with this shared burden. If your boss is blocking this then you NEED to let them know how big a risk they are running here. It's not fair to leave this responsibility on the already burdened shoulders of a few overworked individuals.
