Slowly, while kicking and dragging, GitHub gets Gerrit/Phabricator features.

(We've just started using the Merge Queue for Nix and Nixpkgs, which gives me similar feelings.)

For those of you not knowing what the hell is being talked about, https://gist.github.com/thoughtpolice/9c45287550a56b2047c631... is a good primer.

This sounds like what graphite.dev had been doing. Is it?

Q: Is this akin to ensuring each commit, in a stream of work, can be merged back to main at any time?

Can someone a bit more forthcoming in arcane magic analogs explain what's happening?
