And that's going to continue because no one is reading the code even when they approve it.
It's a very strange thing indeed, but not unexpected: we warned that skills not used will eventually atrophy.

Thanks.
I don't see anything in the article that says that two maintainers, let alone one, reviewed the PR manually and approved it before merging. Where are you getting this information from?
