If All builds succeeded. I was planning on reporting it if they failed, but thought it would be useful to report that they succeeded just as well.

In fact, we only merge them or do any build testing after they (your stable releases) are tagged and pushed. By my own account, I decided I would contribute somehow doing those build tests, but might push for those tests to be run earlier, so we can report back its results, if you find it would be useful.
