Hello Boosters,

Following a (much) earlier suggestion on this list, I've implemented one 
of the features I'd like to see in program_option, and created Pull 
Request for initial review/feedback on GitHub:

https://github.com/boostorg/program_options/pull/40

I've noticed, however, that there are 4 other unattended PRs, the 
earliest being from 2016. Some of them have comments such as "Can you 
please merge or decline?" urging a response. Also, there have been no 
commits for the past 4 months.

I've also emailed Vladimir (Prus) last month - a short message, merely 
to ensure he's noticed my PR, not to demand anything; but I've gotten no 
reply.

Now, I don't want to sound accusatory - I'm sure there are perfectly 
good reasons for the lack of responsiveness, and I'm very appreciate of 
the work of writing the library and maintaining it over the years. 
Still, given the situation I thought I'd bring this up here on the list.

What would you suggest I do?

Eyal
