Hello everyone,

I'm relatively new to contributing to Apache Spark and I've run into a situation where I'm not sure about the proper next steps.

I submitted a pull request (https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/54644) a few days ago that addresses https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-49634. It's a relatively small fix that removes a config suggestion for ANSI mode, which has been 'on' by default since 4.0.0.

The issue is that the reporter (reviewer) assigned to the JIRA hasn't responded either to JIRA or to the PR. Since their GitHub shows at least 6 months of inactivity, I don't think they will respond at all.

I plan to keep contributing to Spark in the future and want to learn the correct etiquette for such situations.

- The Contributing Guide says: "If a pull request has gotten little or no attention, consider improving the description or the change itself and ping likely reviewers again after a few days." - I've checked the mailing list archives on "dev" and "user" for keywords like "stalled review" or "unresponsive reporter", but I didn't find clear guidance.
- I haven't yet pinged the "dev" list directly for a review.

Is this the right place to ask for process advice? Or should I gently ping the "dev" list asking for a code review? What is the generally accepted way to handle a PR when the original reporter goes silent?

I'd appreciate any guidance from the community on how to proceed without breaking any protocols.

Best regards,
Sergei Repnikov
