[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Please help with pull requests! (Issue #3815)

[mmd]

I don't believe reviewing random pull requests is an effective way going forward. I doubt it will add much value, even worse it might only add more noise without getting anything done in the end. Oftentimes, I find myself wondering, what maintainers think about a particular pull request, if it's even worthwhile reviewing, when in the end, no one wants that feature.

I'd like to propose a different approach where we can focus on a very limited set of pull requests or one topic to be completed in a ~3 week period. Then tell everyone, hey, this is what I'd like to work on, please help reviewing, add your comments. Work packages (or backlog items) have to fit into the 3 week time window, otherwise they're too large, and not a good fit. Use Github projects to communicate this planning, assign pull requests to different stages as needed.

I also agree you should urge EWG to find more resources to work on these topics. There's much more topics beyond reviewing PRs. The new microcosm could benefit from some UX experts, or find someone to sort out what features are useful or relevant for the site, as an example.
