I agree color management is important but it's not worth derailing other developers just because it's on some list. Breaking master is a good way to drive away new developers, and there's nothing wrong with working on branches until some feature "basically works" and just needs integration touch-up and fine-tuning.
Perhaps some people think this has reached that point, but it does not seem that the person working on it thinks so, and I would put a lot more value on her opinion and ability to request it be merged.
