Whoops yeah.

>Yep. Because it did not have all conversations resolved. We also have
"require resolved conversation" as one of the branch protection conditions.
I resolved the conversation and it got merged automatically.

Let's adapt it when ready though, I don't see any urgency of getting
enabling auto-merge or getting it contributed immediately to asf INFRA when
it isn't critical. It is about priortization

I'd say - if that is really bothering us - let's shape the feature rather
