Or, more simply, have "importance" assigned by the committer who first reviews the PR. What I'd like to see is a category something like "suspended" but which would be advertised as being for PRs that are a good idea, but which some committer thinks is unlikely to get fixed in the next year or so. These PRs would not be reported as "open". I suspect that many valid PRs are being closed and totally forgotten because somebody just wants to reduce the number of open PRs and feels that the PR is unlikely to get worked so might as well be closed.
