Some of you may have noticed that I have been merging a lot of 
Old PRs recently.

Due to some old CI bugs and other bitrot and PRs merged, many 
outstanding PRs need a rebase.

If you have an open PR in dmd or druntime marked `needs rebase` 
(if they're really old it may be better to close it and open a 
new one, it will be a long time before the CI gets to it) or a 
dlang.org PR that is not green, please do me a favour and rebase 
it and ping me when you do.

Many Thanks
Nic

Could you please mark the ones you plan to merge with the "72 hr" tag
beforehand?

Sorry about that one. Stefan said he wanted to take a look at it 
and there were another few PRs also on auto merge.

I made a PR once, it sat long enough that it needed a rebase, 
which I did. Then it sat so long again that it needed another 
one. I lost interest as a result of dlang's lack of interest and 
now I'm pretty sure it's one of those that needs a rebase again. 
Why the fuck should I or anyone else bother? It's a mess that was 
created due to lack of management. And certain individuals refuse 
to acknowledge said issue as they pull up stats on how many pull 
requests get merged in (basically just the ones that the dlang 
team merge on their own due to their connections).

repo name would help a lot.

Aye. But I am now the Pull Request manager[1], so things are 
moving forward.

I'm not denying we have a problem with rotting PRs, but I have 
merged a large number of PRs over the last few days and will 
continue to do so. Yes there are still lots to go, but they can't 
all be merged at once (not the least of which is that the CIs are 
not that fast), but I do very much hope to get there.
