When we had the “big reset” I asked for seconding before merging as the priority was to get a functioning release out.
IMHO outside of burndown towards a release, a successful CI build of the branch, providing the branch is fast-forward mergable (not that we actually do a fast forward merge - merge policy being a separate topic, just that all commits are on top of master without rebasing) should be all that is required to merge (the release manager, ie whoever steps up to do a release, may revert any problematic merges when time comes to actually release) Once a release manager has stepped up and declared the start of a burn-down... in that case seconding should apply. Wdyt? (Ps I haven’t declared burn down for core *yet*, but I will in the next week or two) -- Sent from my phone
