I think this is a sane decision. There are lots of PRs still open,
some have been
for a long time. I'm trying to lower your work load there by loking at what I
think I can sanely decide is 'good', but that's mostly tests, code changes,
text changes etc. I'm not well versed in syntax files...

In the future, doing this by PR seems a logical way forward.

We _do_ need automatied test for syntax files, though, to prevent breakage
and have a way to decide what syntax highlighting should 'look like' before
it's included. I know Bram started this, but I'm not sure of the current status.

I hope we will be able to sustain the community without Bram, but at them
moment I think we can continue for quite some time 'in his spirit'.
