Agree with your pain points. One thing id add is GitHub makes you reapprove every PR after each push. As an OSS contributor it’s exhausting to chase re-approvals for minor tweaks.

mmmm this is up to each repo/maintainer's settings.

To be fair you don't know if one line change is going to absolutely compromise a flow. OSS needs to maintain a level of disconnect to be safe vs fast.

Good to know! Never been a maintainer before so I thought that was required.
Adding fixup commits (specifying the specific commit they will be squashed into), to be squashed by the bot before merge, handles that.
This is a security setting that the author has chosen to enable.
Hm that’s not the case for my repositories? Maybe you have a setting enabled for that?
