The tricky thing about looking at number of issues is that we have a high volume of interaction on the repo as well as a lot of cruft from even before the beta (I'm looking into winnowing these down). I'm spending 50% of my time on the road interacting with developers, and most of what I'm hearing is that M2 is much better to work with for professional PHP developers, but that there are improvements still needed. We're damn lucky to have an engaged community which will help us to constantly improve, assuming we continue to listen to them (which is a big part of my job). We also have our most senior PM overseeing developer experience.

Regarding PRs, this wasn't something we even _did_ before 2015. I wish we could have a quicker acceptance of PRs, but many are not in a proper state to accept - for example, several PRs have CI failures which are the responsibility of the submitter to fix.
