Well, yeah. Its more a pull-request crusade. Its the hell out there. And 
thats only pull-requests, i didnt looked at issues overall.

There are 141 pull requests open (roughly 20 closed so far) at 
https://github.com/organizations/plone/dashboard/pulls/public

I try to close what I can. For some topics its just not possible for me, 
it needs the original authors to decide if it makes sense or not.

But many are simple fixes where just a changelog entry is missing or 
where the auto-merge doesnt work any longer.

So help appreciated - and if its just a short comment from people deeper 
into the package.

I think looking at pull-requests (and issues) is also a good and needed 
sprint topic - imo it must be a topic on every future Plone Sprint.

As a contributor/requester it must be completly disapointing: One has 
some kind of problem, solves it, makes a pull request and theres no 
response (not in all cases, but there are several). Then it hangs for 
years!

I dont think we shall do this as community and need a process here. 
First positive guidance for newbies - tell them to sign contributor 
agreement, that we want a chnage log entry, maybe about tests and pep8, 
how to add changes to a pull request (i know, just commit to branch, but 
thats not clear).

Anyway, I'll try to go ahead a bit here. Depends also a bit on my time.

So as said: Help wanted and if its one picks a random pull request and 
looks at it and write a short comment. Not much effort, great effect!

regards Jens
