@phillip_benoit I've been doing PRs to a respectable number of open source projects for a few years now, and from all of them, only one of the projects has consistently reviewed my PRs in under 3 weeks. If the project is popular and is handled by few people, you should be accustomed for them to take several months to look at your PR.
I would rate RetroPie as one of the most decent projects I've contributed to, in terms of pull requests accepted and time taken to evaluate them, especially considering the small number of people working on it.
My point is: you can change projects, but it's no guarantee that you won't be ignored on the other side as well. "Occupational hazards" I guess.
