I don't think so.

It doesn't matter much if the branch you're asking to pull is in the main repository or in a private fork. > Now that I mended the pull request, should I merge the pull request > myself?

(Or if nobody cared for a couple of weeks, even after asking for feedback on the list.) > My apologies in case I missed an obvious document or reference > somewhere that describes the way "we" should work with the > zopefoundation's codebase...
