    <p>Hi Nyall,</p>
    <p>your answer doesn't really answer my question :-) Is the
      restriction for every committer or a subset?</p>
    <p>Who has rights for changing qgis/qgis github settings? (not
      necessarily asking for them to be extended, but just so we know).
      It would be good to communicate when some settings that might
      affect workflows are adjusted</p>
    <p>I'd say that we should probably give up for now to auto-merge if
      it blocks approved pull requests from being merged</p>
    <p>Even</p>

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

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