[QGIS-Developer] Rights to merge Pull Request even if CI is red

[Even Rouault]

Hi Julien,

I just tried looking at your PR [0] and I also don't seem to have the 
right to force merge it (only "auto-merge" rights that depend on green CI)

It would be indeed great to have some clarification of who might have 
such rights or not, so we can see if there isn't a bottleneck that must 
be resolved. I'm not sure why we would want such rights to be restricted 
to a subset of people with "regular" merge rights rather than the whole 
group.
