This implies that on bugs and with PRs it's the same issue.
My cautious guess is that permissions to merge PRs on GitHub (which not
all developers can do) are not the main reason that stuff doesn't get
merged.
Whereas on the bug tracker, afaik everyone with a php.net account can
triage, edit, assign, etc bugs. And still there are open ones.

So, if it's only a permissions issue and people are active hindered to
get stuff done, go ahead and propose changes. If it just feels like
stuff doesn't get done... maybe no one's around to do it.
