 I'm not sure that Salsa is any different than GitHub here, honestly. These 
 expectations are pretty unrealistic for GitHub as well. It's very common 
 for people to do new releases of packages maintained on GitHub without 
 looking at the open PRs. 
  
 I think this is just a case of people assuming that everyone else does 
 free software maintenance in the same way that they learned how to do it, 
 which is very much not true.
