If you look at Apache Spark (which is using the GitHub integration for
quite some time now), it seems that they have exactly the situation you've
described: A lot of lingering pull requests:
https://github.com/apache/spark/pulls?direction=desc&page=8&sort=created&state=open
Github has support for specifying administrators for individual
repositories. If you want, I can ask INFRA if there is a way to solve the
problem.
