I actually love the open PRs. I look at them more than the approved NIPs these days.
Open PRs for me are just ideas. Some are good, some are bad, and most of them are just terribly written, especially if the author is not coding them.
Unless somebody codes those ideas, they will never go forward. And that's ok. They can be there waiting for the light of day.

That's a reasonable response to so many open PRs but it's not a great situation to get used to as it means less consensus and velocity.
If a PR is merged, that doesn't mean the NIP is final. It just means `main` is open for follow-on PRs from others. In the current state, there's a lot more energy spent on discussion without resolution than improved NIPs.
Bias toward merging and interested parties will know they can correct things quickly. As it is, half the time I go looking for a NIP it's not even in the README so I must search which is a waste when multiplied by n contributors.
I can't argue with all the great work that's been done so far but I see a lot more potential to be unlocked.
