Merges I create from the CLI don't really look that differennt from the ones through some forge UI PR process. I don't know what Linus is getting at. If I was working under someone who had a process like this, I could ask them to clarify what they wanted me to do. I don't have that. And I need to be able to justify all of my decisions. So this isn't useful to me.

I don't doubt that Linus has good reasons for all this. I just don't know what they are. And I don't know if they're applicable to other repos.
