@xiota apart from @eht16's comment the other thing needed is patience.  

Its really great that you are engaged and want to contribute, and the last thing I want is to dampen that, but please please remember the people who have to review, test and merge your PRs are doing it in their spare time, they are not paid and  certainly are not full time.  Many only have time on weekends, which is why I have been delaying merges a week so at least one weekend goes by, which gives then a chance post if they notice a problem.

Every post you make requires those same people who process PRs to read and think about the post and maybe reply, all of which reduces the time they have to consider PRs, both yours and other.  Instead of spamming your PRs and issues and directly pinging people it would be great if you helped with other PRs, as well as of course doing a _few_ of your own PRs.  

In progress at the moment is ctags parser upgrades which need testing, at least for languages you have even the slightest idea about (even with my limited knowledge of Perl I found a bug in the perl parser which is reported upstream), or previously the scintilla upgrades.  That way your PRs will be processed in turn without stealing effort from other work, especially such basic efforts as Scintilla and ctags that are fundamental to Geany capabilities.
