Hmmm, good idea, might try that,

Other idea is that there could be a 
openstack-closed-pull-requests at lists.openstack.org mailing list that 
cores/others could subscribe to if they want, and any time a automatic 
close happens, a mail gets sent to that list, then readers of that list 
can decide if they want to go find that person that made the PR and try 
to get it merged (I wonder if many people that submitted pull requests 
[and got it closed on them] even went through the effort to sign the 
ICLA/CCLA and submit a gerrit review, or did they just give up? Seems 
like that data should be somewhat easily determinable...)
