Hi,

I just wanted to give your attention to the following discussion: https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/12737#issuecomment-1793426911

From my knowledge the Lucene (and Solr) community decided a while back to disable merging and only allow squashig of PRs. Robert always did this, but because of a one-time problem with two branches he was working on in parallel, he suddenly changed his mind and did merges on his own, not sqashing the branch and pushing to ASF Git.

I am also not a fan of removing all history, but especially for heavy committing branches like the given PR, I think we should invite our committers to also adhere to community standards everyone else practices. I would agree with merging those branches if all commit messages in the branch would be well-formed with issue ID or PR number, but in the above case you get a history of random commits which is no longer linear and not easy readable.

What do others think?

Uwe
