I could support the "gentle reply" concept but not the close
concept.

But to play Daemon's Advocate:

We should note the fact that there was at least one porter who
objected to Dan Langille's proposal to add all maintainers to one
of his own (or proposed) reminder lists.  Whether or not you or I
personally agree with that position isn't as relevant as the fact
that at least one (maybe more) people feel that they don't want
to have additional obligations added on to their workload,
after-the-fact.

But we do need some way for PRs to become "unstuck".  I'm
fiddling with some tools to help identify them, but these only
construct HTML pages at present, and only for the ports system.
I'll leave the question of "should we automatically send email" up
to people who have been with the project much longer.
