Fwiw I'd also like to do a bit of a cleanup on some of the open pull requests - there's a lot of stale code there with conflicts and build errors, and I want to get to a state where all the open pull requests we have are actually actively worked on (with some leeway on "active" of course, we're all volunteering our time and you can't always plan things fully).
Same with "demonstrates bug" PRs. They can be useful, but not if they just sit there for months on end.
Some PRs can be rebased and continued, others should just be closed and perhaps even their branches removed (that's obviously something we will decide on a case by case basis).
Cheers,
Jeen

They are just gathering dust. Their descriptions tend to be vastly out of date with the current state of the code base as well.
