PR backlog on GitHub

Are we thinking of implementing any mechanisms to tackle the growing PRs backlog at Pull requests · vllm-project/vllm · GitHub ?

Yes, the vLLM community is actively discussing mechanisms to address the growing PR backlog. Proposed solutions include adding a duplicate-detection CI workflow to reduce redundant PRs, leveraging stateful GitHub Actions with caching to manage review load, and introducing a contributors ladder to expand review capacity beyond the core team. There is also interest in automated tools for PR triage and similarity checks to help prioritize and de-duplicate efforts, as seen in recent RFCs and discussions[^1^].

Would you like more detail on specific mechanisms or implementation examples?
