Also, I tend to give priority to orphan requests, as someone else is 
awaiting to fix packages issues, so giving priority to these requests 
the packages will be fixed quicker.

I noticed this a lot, but it means merge requests take months to be
accepted, and deletion requests can sit there for potentially years.

Btw for the news, the actually oldest unhandled AUR request is since 2023-08-12, [awaiting for a response from a different maintainer]
