Combine this with a large timezone difference and you get a (literally) slow motion disaster. Imagine waking up and finding your change thoroughly reviewed but not approved because of a triviality. Not a great day.
This is my life right now and it is terrible, can confirm. I’ve tried advocating for what you say to no avail. Or like, just opening a new PR into my branch, or directly committing to my branch. I’m not territorial, I just want progress. Instead people love to bicker and cover their own ass.
