It's easy to open a PR, but not so easy to get someone to actually review it.
There's currently 165 open PRs by first-time contributors adding a new package, some of which have been just sitting there without review comments for years. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3A%22...
At least they're meticulously labeled so it's easy to find them.
There's also https://matrix.to/#/#review-requests:nixos.org
Try to come on Matrix; you'll be able to get much better traction there.
Some community members are also working on a merge-bot[1] with the goal of allowing package maintainers to self-service their PRs. This will allow nixpkgs to scale much better. For now, it's limited to package upgrades submitted by the ryantm-updater bot.
