I'm super happy Godot is receiving so much attention, both in contributions and issue creation.

But, how is having PRs open since 2019 a positive indication, and a productive one at that? Seems hugely unproductive to never close a PR unless the author do so (apparently? I don't know the dev process too closely).

Most be very hard to navigate so many PRs, and surely most of them must be unmergable after some months due to conflicts.

Simply because I looked at some other tools recently and their PR backlog was simply a graveyard. A 3 year backlog seems really good to me in comparison.

I think this is mostly because the core team has been working on 4.0 for a couple of years now so I would imagine that PRs get overlooked. It's a popular project and there's not a lot of people on the team so yeah it builds up.

I have PR open since 2020 (small change for a bit of qol) still hasn't been merged and I believe that there will be major conflicts now.
