Well, OK.  But since there is no merging any other way, the impression
left to random developers passing by is that it's futile to send pull
requests.

Obviously not a precise count of requess ready to be merged, but IMHO
still an indication of the sorry state:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+%22add+support+%22

Now I know that reviewer resources ia s problem for all projects, so I
probably shouldn't whine about it.  But I do have a hard time
understanding the current OpenWrt workflow.
