I'm sorry, I just looked at the PR backlog and the patch that Michael sent me, I haven't noticed that you took maintainership in the meantime. Otherwise, I'd have asked Michael to discuss this change with you. I should have been more careful with this. On the other hand, I'd like add that you should have taken the PRs when you took maintainership. Leaving PRs in an inconsistent state is confusing and being a maintainer also includes the responsibility of monitoring and answering update and change request and not just exercising authority over the port. I'm sure your intentions are good and your decisions are reasonable but if you don't even have time to answer PRs in a reasonable time, you should rethink if you are able to deal with more ports when you take maintainership.
