Well, I read this whole thread through, with all the various comments
from Kris and Garance [among others], and then I decided to go look at
the two PRs in question just to see what all the fuss was about.

It turns out that both of these are actually fairly straight-forward
to deal with in that they've been specifically assigned to individual
developers and publically marked as such.  PR#18756 is an fxp driver
issue and, as marked, clearly the domain of David Greenman given that
nobody other than him would likely even dare commit a change to the
fxp driver lest they get flamed for their presumption. :-)

PR#20255 has been assigned to Cameron Grant, the maestro of the audio
drivers, and it's highly unlikely that anyone other than he would even
know if the supplied patches were correct.

In both cases, you're essentially now blocking on a single developer
and it's up to those two developers to come out of the woodwork and
either adopt or close these PRs as incorrect (given some
justification, of course).
