@bes Oh I wouldn't mind giving some permissions to others at all. I just haven't done it and I haven't looked at what administrative rights I have over at the GitLab installation. Also I'm not sure whether the ones I'd like to see do that are interested in it :)

So far it's basically worked so that I "blindly" merge stuff from people I trust (and I think they know I trust them), like @chimo and @hannes2peer and others.

But the "merge requests lying around for half a year" thing is exaggerated. There's like 7 requests there, mostly non-essential things, a Google 2FA plugin (I think it was) and some suggestions. Nothing really revolutionary. The plugin thing should probably just be in a third party repository with lots of plugins (slimming down the main repo) etc. etc.

The issue list, some reports better/more meaningful than others, is a bit more staggering to look at, but requires some time getting into each issue.
