alexcrichton opened PR #12408 from alexcrichton:clarify-etiquette to bytecodealliance:main:

Document that we typically expect maintainers themselves to add their own PRs to the merge queue after approval, but clarify that for contributors this is a responsibility of maintainers to add PRs to the merge queue.

and folks can also feel free to disagree here and say "no approvers should add things to the merge queue" -- I just wish GitHub were better in that regard

The branch-deletion bit is tricky (though I understand why GH does it). That said, I've shifted over the years but I tend to set auto-merge on straightforward PRs I approve even from core team members just to save everyone's time. You left it open either way here but I'm happy to stop doing that if folks want to claim the small joy of hitting the green button!

This is what I tend to do as well. If I approve, don't have any nitpicks/feedback to be addressed, and CI is green, I'll just enqueue it immediately.

But I can also stop doing this if we prefer not to.

Heh ok in that case I don't want to have documentation saying "everyone should accomodate Alex doing his weird thing" so sounds like I should instead switch to merging PRs as well. I'll update the docs here to clarify

Ok updated with a bit of text about "everyone should hit that green button" as well as orthogonal text explaining how merge queues work. Mind double-checking the words/meaning for me?

(Despite the discussion here, not enabling auto-merge in case anyone else wants to add thoughts)
