Yes, ofc. I've submitted multiple PRs. Some of them haven't been merged.
Later I got these packages through the Non-responsive maintainer
procedure, manually merged the PRs and pushed to updates.

I think it will be very difficult. Many maintainers simply don't have
enough free time and their packages haven't been updated for ages. They
also don't check email and never accept pull requests.
Radical and likely overkill idea...
Require CLAs be renewed annually. If they don't respond within a certain amount of time, the non-responsive maintainer process is automatically initiated (or another process/workflow that doesn't yet exist).
Thanks,
Richard
