Due to the sheer number of PRs that we receive, we simply can't take tens of minutes, or hours, on all of them. (For the past several years we have only been able to keep the total number of PRs from rising too much.) jh@ and others have been doing great work to try to prune the stale ones, so that we can more easily see the others. I sympathise with the OP about having to have all the anti-spam measures in place; I've had my email address for over 10 years now and have tried various combinations of razor wire, boiling oil, and so forth. But the reality is that if we're getting 60+ PRs/day, not every one is going to get the time it deserves. mcl
