@Ben: Fixing a subtle bug that was introduced and that users are affected
by. Fixing instable builds. Minor cosmetic changes. Changes to JavaDoc.
However, PRs make an excellent tool for code reviews most of the time. I
see that we probably can't stress that enough.

I'd actually think that my paragraph gave more reasons to use pull requests
than the current draft does. I'd be happy if we incorporated some of my
suggestions. I have removed the "Whenever possible" but kept my other
points about communication and follow-up discussions:

"Committers should never commit anything without going through a pull
request, since that would bypass test coverage and potentially cause the
build to fail due to checkstyle, etc. *In addition, pull requests ensure
that changes are communicated properly and potential flaws or improvements
can be spotted*. Always go through the pull request, even if you won’t wait
for the code review. *Even then, comments can be provided in the pull
requests after it has been merged to work on follow-ups.*"

Best,
Max
