<p dir="ltr">That's an actual merge conflict, the push races I'm referring to are the ones where there's no conflict, but Mercurial objects to the non-linear history. Zuul takes care of linearising everything and making sure the tests pass before committing the change to the relevant branch.</p>

<p dir="ltr">I withdrew from participating in that list when an individual banned from the core mailing lists and the issue tracker for persistently failing to respect other participants in those communities chose to participate in it despite an explicit request from me that he refrain from doing so (after wasting years trying to coach him into more productive modes of engagement, I now just cut my losses and flat out refuse to work in any environment where he has a significant presence).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since our moderation practices don't currently include a way to request transferring bans between lists, and I'm reluctant to push for that to change when I have such a clear personal stake in the outcome (it reads like a personal vendetta against the individual concerned), that's the way things are likely to stay unless/until he also gets himself banned from the core workflow list.</p>
