It's only pressure if you believe the social contract in a PR is that everything that is written is something you're obligated to read / respond to. If you flip that a bit to a PR being the first step in a way of saying "I tried a thing and it worked, what's necessary to make that an actual thing that other can use", then you will sort of land here.
