I recently created my first [pull request](https://github.com/JuliaMath/Combinatorics.jl/pull/122) for the Julia ecosystem, and I’m very excited about it. It doesn’t seem like there has been much activity on this package recently. How long should I be prepared to wait to hear something from the package maintainers?

The latest release of Combinatorics.jl was v1.0.2, more than two years ago. Is the package still being developed/attended to?

Combinatorics.jl has been a pretty stable package, so I guess it did not need much attention (and this could be its problem).

The PR by @natemcintosh looks nice and carefully prepared. Some member of JuliaMath probably should review it, so I pinged @mschauer there. Maybe also @rdeits could have a look at it.

After a huge amount of help from @bkamins and @mschauer, we believe the PR is ready for merge. Is there someone else, not yet involved, who would be willing to review it?
