I really hope debian-devel is not going to turn into an ongoing discussion of how the workflows of other maintainers are wrong. For the record, I will not use MRs routinely for my own packages. I do not like this workflow for my own changes, and I am going to continue to push directly to the primary branch unless I need an MR for some reason (such as triggering checks of a change that I think might fail checks). > It would help avoid unnecessary mistakes from getting into the > repository and perhaps be more collaborative in spirit. I don't care if occasional mistakes get into my repositories. Worrying about such things excessively is paralyzing and demoralizing and is a recipe for doing even less volunteer work. > Yesterday there was 4 commits on the same file within an hour.
