I am opening this discussion to widen the audience for feedback on the rules for merging. The original interexchange was in [1]
1 ) Given the geographical and time differences should we consider that once a review with approval* has been done the PR’s author can merge it? 2) Should we consider requiring more than one organization/company to approve a PR before it is merged. Background: If only one company does a review, that can lead to undo influence as noted as the "The Enemies" <https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/INVIOLABLES.md> of the INVIOLABLES [2]: “Focus on the values of the organization, not the values of the Open Source project. Need to support both.” *The change would define PR approval as requiring a review/approval from more than the members of one company or organization. I am in favor of both these changes.
