Merge monkey's is:

1) an insulting name
2) solving the wrong problem.

We're looking at ways to get more granular with patches.  Currently 2
line patches which fix a small bug appear in the same queue as massive
feature additions which touch every part of rails.

Similarly, spelling errors show up alongside complicated bugs relating
to big nested object graphs.

I think getting more granularity in the queues is the first step.  
Any thoughts?
