I agree this particular PR should've gone to 'features'. IMHO it'd
have been the responsibility of Bruno and you to tell the author to
reopen it against features.
But in general I think it's working pretty well, no?

I reviewed the commits because I was curious about this.
Other than the change above and another change which is debatable
("Make monkeypatch calls O(1)") all of those seem like bugfixes or
trivial doc changes to me.

I was surprised this wasn't caught as well - then again pytest's
coverage is at 93% according to coveralls, which doesn't seem too
shabby to me.

I thought we discussed this to death before already, and ended up with
master/features :P
