Agreed. But we have a tool to deal with this. Git's branches are quite nice, you can view a branch as people work on it, and people can even invite others to edit a branch they have in their personal repo. You can alert others to the existence of the branch and publish a link to it. > I guess it depends on judgement.

On the other hand, that was less obvious when there was a very long PR queue. Just to be clear: I think it's very valuable to have a _short_ PR queue. It really does keep things from getting lost.
