Ack, all sounds good.
And it wasn't a problem last time either, I just wanted to make it
clear that I don't want to randomly pull from new people without
having some kind of hand-over.
And everybody reacted very quickly with a "yup, all good" (which I
obviously _expected_ it to be - I just wanted the explicit ack), so
all it did was delay my pull request by literally a couple of minutes.
I was going to write that it delayed things by "a few hours", but I
went back and checked: I asked for a handoff confirmation email at
9:38, and I got your reply at 9:46, and my merge commit is dated 9:49,
all the same morning.
So it literally delayed things by like 11 minutes on a pull request
that was nice and timely.
This was all the opposite of a problem. Just an oversight that worked
out very quickly.
In fact, even in my "I really want to see proper heads-up" email I also wrote:
[ I should have reacted to this earlier, but I just put all the "for
6.10" pull requests in the queue without looking closer ]
so quite arguably even that 11-minute delay was my fault for not
having reacted when the original pull request came in, and only
reacting once the merge window started and I started processing it.
