You can not compare PR counts for Typescript to the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel does not accept Github pull requests for development. If you try it, it will respond with this friendly message: Linux kernel development happens on mailing lists, rather than on GitHub - this GitHub repository is a read-only mirror that isn't used for accepting contributions. So that your change can become part of Linux, please email it to us as a patch.
