Are there really no safe guards to the merging process except for human oversight?
Isnt there some “In Review State” where people who want to see the experimental stuff, can pull this experimental stuff and if enough™ people say “This new shit is okay” it gets merged?
So the Main Project doesnt get poisoned and everyone can still contribute in a way and those who want to Experiment can test the New Stuff.
It is my understanding that pull requests say “Hey, I forked and modified your project. Look at it and consider adopting my changes in your project.” So anyone who wants to look at the “experimental stuff” can just pull that fork. Someone in charge of the main branch decides if and when to merge pull requests.
The problem becomes the volume of requests; they’re kinda getting DDOS’d.
