What is the process for updating this repository?

Some things in this repository could be updated I think. There's also a bunch of pending pull requests. What's the process of merging things here? Should just anybody with permissions press the merge button? Or does @VivianePons review things?

Good question. I think there is no process at the moment. I don't remember how, but somehow I ended up as admin (not maintainer) of this relatively inactive repository. And judging by the commit history it looks like not every even has gone though a pull request in the past, and some things have been directly pushed to master.
I think ideally master would be a protected branch and every pull request needs at least one review. And after that anybody can merge.

However if you see no action on your PR for some time after asking a review from several people, then go ahead and merge it yourself.

I am fine with a process as for developing sagemath. Meaning stuff gets merged when a positive review was given.

I just took a look at the 5 pull request and all of them have conflicts.

I think the authors of PRs with conflicts will not come back here to fix the conflicts. Are there PRs with conflicts that answer important issues?

My suggestion would be to archive this repository and point to a small number of well-maintained packages that can serve as examples.
