One minor piece of insight from me is about release management vs pull-requests.

As you say it's much easier to schedule a 30 minute meeting, then we can - with context - resolve any immediate nitpicks you have, but we can also structure bigger things.

'Would this block a release?'

'Can we just get this done in the PR and merge it'

'Ok, so when it's done... what is the most important thing that we need to document?'

Where the fact that even after it's merged, it's going to sit in the repo for a while until we decide to hit the 'release' button', this lets people defer stuff to work on next and defines a clear line of 'good enough'
