A request to review a PR for fixing an issue on the turtle module

There are more open PRs waiting for a review. Is posting here a good way to actively request a review from core developers when a PR has not been picked up (like this one) for some time?

For reference: recently there have already been some discussions on topics related to this:

Some numbers: there are currently 475 open PRs with label “awaiting core review”. To get a feeling what is the status of these PRs I selected the 50 oldest PRs and went through them.

  • 17 PRs: The label “awaiting core review” can be removed
  • 3 PRs: Not sure
  • 30 PRs: The PR looks valid (e.g. tests pass, approved) and requires a review from a core developer (some PRs have conflicts with the main branch, so perhaps a request to rebase is sufficient)
