Wow, I read that thread completely differently. Colin likes PRs and Bastien and 
Emmanuelle hate them, though Emmanuelle grudgingly accepts that they’re better 
for big change sets like yours yesterday. I didn’t see anything that suggested 
TPTB were going to make it possible to handle PRs. 

Note that even if I did have a “merge” button on that repo it would only break 
the repo because subsequent mirroring pushes from git.gnome.org would fail for 
not being a fast-forward. I’ve “watched” all of my repos so that I’ll get 
notified about random PRs that turn up, thanks for suggesting that.

Regards,
John Ralls
