Ah yes if the merge is applied directly instead of using apply-pull then
that's not good. I guess that's why we have the rule that only maintainers
should handle topic branches ...

Not sure how we can fix this in dim? Maybe a check whether the patches
your pushing contain a merge commit, which prompts an additional query
like

"Merge commits should only be done by repo maintainers, not committers.
Confirm that you are a maintainer of $repo?"

It's not the first time this slipped through and caused some fun. Similar
to how we have the confirmation check if you push a lot of patches.

Thoughts?
