I didn't even think of context switching while reading this post - thanks for bringing it up. That's a great point. Even if each pull request only took you a day to work on, you might have to context switch to a week ago at the very least.

Also, if there are 5 pull requests hanging around, it's possible something else is broken as well. Maybe those pull requests weren't the most important things to be working on? Maybe a QA team is backed up with other testing? Maybe nobody is focused on releasing? There could be a bunch of other factors in addition to the development team.
