Ok, everyone knows the pull queues are huge and that a goal of clearing them is long term at best.  I have a much more targeted suggested goal:  Keep the stable pull queue empty.  There's currently 11 pull requests.  There's really no reason for this subset to linger.  Either they're good and low risk fixes for issues or they should be done on master.

    https://auto-tester.puremagic.com/pulls.ghtml?projectid=14
    Or a github search with the filter: base:stable
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr%20is%3Aopen%20base%3Astable

A quick bit of focused effort to handle the existing queue then a daily job to send an email about the existence of anything older than a day?  Or maybe anything at all.

Brad, I think this is a great idea!

I have already opened an issue at the Dlang-Bot [1] (the bot already crawls the PRs daily and tags them e.g. "stalled", "needs rebase", "needs work" etc.)
So configuring the bot to send a daily reminder to this mailing list about stable PRs shouldn't be difficult.
Maybe we should start to send reminders as soon as the bot has this feature?

I will be busy for a few days, but afterwards I can have a look into [1].
However, if anyone else wants to hack with the bot [2] is a good starting point (accessible with --cron-daily).

I'll clear out all of mine later.  That dmd differences PR should be rebased against a C++ branch.

Iain.
