Let's take your argument all the way for a moment, please. What if the
signed merge commits were to serve as the mutual approvals Ludo' has
been asking for?

Non-forward merges could also be used for changes involving just a
single commit, although that would create more overhead and result in
a more complicated project history.

Kind regards
