All,

+1000 to this idea.  bors [1] is an example of this type of system that works 
well.  It provides on-demand build and implements the project’s rules to merge 
changes to the master/develop branch (e.g. an LGTM from two committers).  In 
addition to enforcing the project’s policies, it ensures that only one PR is 
merged at time further protecting master if two conflicting PRs are approved in 
roughly the same timeframe.  One of the PRs will loose — forcing a rebase and 
fix before being merged.  Ideally, no one should be hitting the big green 
button.  Can we configure Jenkins to behave in this manner?

Thanks,
-John
