I think it is time to move this discussion into its own thread, but just a last word from my side:

Same with me. We need to find a way how external contributors can make progress even if the core team at Oracle has no time -- because you *mostly* have no time. 😅 Otherwise lots of contributions will simply not happen, as they linger around for years and then nobody likes to get back to it. 🙁 

One thing I hope you don't mind if I say is: Being a committer / reviewer is not just a power, it is also a responsibility to stay in contact with "normal" contributors in a timely manner. For that reason, in the open source projects where *I* am the code owner, I reserve time for working with contributors, and I always help others before working on my own stuff. Just as an idea. 🙂
