Makes sense. On the operational level, should we use the
"automatically merge" feature of git hub once approving? On the plus
side it's very convenient, but you'll get one "Merge" commit for every
PR (which is often just one commit), so we'd almost double the entries
in "git log". Or can github be told to not do that?

Merging manually is quite a bit of work, as you have to add a new
remote every time, fetch that, and pull from it. But it does keep a
cleaner git log history.

Thanks,

Martin
