Also, if your PR hasn’t seen any responses in a month or so, despite pinging relevant people, there is this thread: [PRs in distress](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/prs-in-distress/3604)

The unfortunate reality is that nixpkgs gets _so_ many PRs that you kinda have to nag your way to getting someone to review them.

If you aren’t a prolific maintainer and don’t start out guns blazing, your PR will fall through the cracks.
