It is possible for community members that have enough knowledge and experience on a special topic to contribute by merging pull requests.
In case the PR is stuck waiting for the original author to apply a trivial
change (a typo, capitalisation change, etc.) and the author allowed the members
to modify the PR, consider applying it yourself. (or commit the existing review

against the idea of the original PR and would not be opposed by the author.
