+- If the PR submitter doesn't respond to your comments for 6 months, move the PR
+ in question to the inactive category with the “inactive” tag attached.
+ At this point, the PR can be closed by a maintainer. If there is any interest
+ in finalizing the PR under consideration, this can be indicated at any time,
+ without waiting 6 months, by a comment.
+- Maintainers are encouraged to finalize PRs when only small changes are
+ necessary before merging (e.g., fixing code style or grammatical errors).
+ If a PR becomes inactive, maintainers may make larger changes.
+ Remember, a PR is a collaboration between a contributor and a reviewer/s,
+ sometimes a direct push is the best way to finish it.
