This would explain something else too, probably: a few years ago I did a call with some GH folks talking about the idea of making the commit message applied to a squash merge part of the review itself.

Apparently this was very common feedback and I know that at least five other people who were maintaining large scale open source at the time gave it that week too. It’s never gone anywhere though, and as a result I have to disable all workflows except “rebase and merge” for every repo…
