I see no situation where we don't want a feature branch vetted by >1 person
before we land anything on master …short of fixing broken tests.

I assume good faith. Joe: you had a bad day and, I think, you still feel
mistrust after previous commits landing on master stalling out your work
last summer. Lets put that behind us.

Andrew pls fire a ping to the list w/ a PR for anything aiming to live on
Android master until earn Joe's trust back. And lets avoid the editorial
about motivations. We all want the same thing here: work on a kick ass open
source project that makes a difference.
