Agreed. But we have a tool to deal with this. Git's branches
are quite nice, you can view a branch as people work on it, and people
can even invite others to edit a branch they have in their personal
repo. You can alert others to the existence of the branch and publish
a link to it.

Agreed as well. On the other hand, that was less obvious when there
was a very long PR queue.

Just to be clear: I think it's very valuable to have a _short_ PR
queue. It really does keep things from getting lost.
