PRs that I propose to simply close (the original author can always reopen them
if new work is done):

https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1117
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1106
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1354
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/957
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1154
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1207
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/239


As you can see, at least half of our pull requests are abandoned. So I
think that we should close the easy ones that either contain no useful
work, or largely unfinished work. Then on the interesting pull
requests, we need to decide on a case by case basis if we want this in
sympy. If so, then some of us should make a serious attempt to fix it.
If it cannot be done easily (without the original's author help), then
I suggest to simply write why it is hard to fix it on our own and
close it. Because then there is no need to have it open, if the
original author is not going to work on it, and nobody else knows how
to fix it.

I propose to put "[UNFINISHED]" into the title of the pull request
before closing it, so that people can easily look these pulls up in
the closed pull requests view at github (in case somebody would like
to reuse some stuff from that later).

There will be a few pull requests that we really really want to get
in, but nobody so far knows how to. Then we'll simply keep them open,
so that people can see them and help out.
