Whenever I see a pull request that should be merged I pull it ...

I do not follow you now, sorry.
How should you handle a pull request in a different way?

It depends on the PR. Would you please give me an example?

Please be patient this is all done on a volutary basis, some PR wait for

And I thank you for sharing yours.
