> If tons of PRs are being blocked, it’s usually a sign that there’s too much gatekeeping going on.
I would expand this and say if too many of the blocking statuses are coming from one reviewer, too much gatekeeping may be going on, even if the overall rate is low. Either they're going too far, or nobody else is going far enough. If you're shouting into the void, discretion is the better part of valor. You can't save people who don't want to be saved. Find people who will appreciate your efforts instead of resenting them.
