I'm going to have to side with Jaakko on this one.  Due to the sheer
number of PRs that we receive, we simply can't take tens of minutes, or
hours, on all of them.  (For the past several years we have only been
able to keep the total number of PRs from rising too much.)  jh@ and others
have been doing great work to try to prune the stale ones, so that we can
more easily see the others.

I sympathise with the OP about having to have all the anti-spam measures
in place; I've had my email address for over 10 years now and have tried
various combinations of razor wire, boiling oil, and so forth.  But the
reality is that if we're getting 60+ PRs/day, not every one is going to
get the time it deserves.
