Noticeable part of major feature proposals get neither positive nor 
negative review and get buried by inaction before the next person who
could benefit of the proposed changes appears.

If there are many trivial pull requests and they are supposed to be 
reviewed either by multiple people or by one of too few people, the
numerous small requests would demand more attention from the reviewing
people, thus leaving them less time to review major feaures.
