"Ideal" world
As PRs are opened, they get reviewed quickly enough that:
Other work is not blocked
Authors do not "move on"If the author is "new" and trying to learn, this may be "quick", so they don't mentally lose track of what they did
If the author is "experienced" (member of the project or regular contributor), this may be "less quick"
PRs do not sit so long that their status becomes unclear
It's easy for PRs to bitrot, where they now are both sort of "waiting on review" and "waiting on author" (to rebase)
