I made a PR for this

What is the meaning of added the label of "stdlib"? What need I do? @StanFromIreland

It is just triage, you don't need to do anything. You can read more about labels in the devguide.

@StanFromIreland I prefer not adding the stdlib label to IDLE issues. It is noise on the IDLE project page and I suspect IDLE issues are not what people want if they search for stdlib. I could be wrong, so we could discuss on the core team discord triage channel if you want.

Terry, I won't argue, it is your module after all. I wasn't aware this is what you wanted, and I would assume that is the case for other people too, so I suggest you add a note on this to the devguide's page on labels.

@terryjreedy Hello! I recently submitted 4 PRs (#143029, #145134, #145386, and #145625), the earliest of which was 4 months ago. All CI-CD checks have passed, and they are allowed to be merged, but they are still in "awaiting review" label. The issues related to these PRs were created in 2022. I am so sorried that because I moved house and lost my computer data, so I was delayed this work for a very long time.
I wonder if this is the reason, have you received the notifications of my PRs? Or is there any work I need to complete still? What should I do now?
