We can change the submit strategy temporarily for big tree merges (as
when the strategy is _not_ cherry-pick hitting "Submit" on the last
change in the tree will get all the changes it depends on submitted
automatically) but in general I agree with Tim here, Cherry-Pick is
working good enough for the OpenOCD workflow and usecases, the
breakage is rare and short-living while usability advantages are high.
