Right now, you can't. OTOH there are various ways to browse the PRs (web pages, periodic postings.) The counter-argument to this is that we get 40+ PRs per day. Ones that seem easy and/or well-prepared are probably going to get handled more quickly. That's just the reality when dealing with such a large number of PRs. mcl
