of course you can. a merge is a commit like every other one, just with
multiple parents.
if you don't like the term cherry-pick in that context, then call it
"replay".

you can have a submission which contains one regular commit, then a
merge and then another regular commit. when you follow only the primary
parent of each commit (or maybe all parents that are not in the public
system yet, depending on what policy we set for merges of yet
unpublished commits), you get exactly the set of commits to "replay".
no reason to actually merge anything from outside the CI-tested
branches.
