I always see more than 6000 open pull requests in the nixpkgs repo.

It must be really hard to get noticed among all of them. I’ve seen new packages that are fully packaged and ready, but still waiting for review for weeks.

What can we do to avoid ending up in this situation?

To be fair, I think updates to existing packages are reviewed relatively quickly — it seems like new packages take much longer to get attention.
