OpenWrt is running low on active people with commit rights. Also not 
everyone knows all the good well.

Like Goetz said it is very helpful when other people also review pull 
request. This is working pretty well with PRs admin new boards.
Add a comment and mention if you think something should get changed or 
if you think it looks fine. If you see a helpful PR and tested it in 
your setup please also comment and say that it works fine for you and 
describe a bit what you tried.
