You'll need a push here, too.  And at that point it may fail. It may be
the case that only Georg can push to 3.2, I don't remember for sure.
(Note that it may not have been Antoine who did the push of that patch
to 3.2...if Georg used transplant, for example, it would show as
Antoine's commit, IIUC.)

I agree that it would cause less developer mind-overhead if the branch
were merged.

Georg has been scarce lately...if the branch is locked, there are people
besides him who can unlock it (Antoine, for one).
