Strictly true:  any committer *can*.  But we need a consensus on who
we would normally expect to do it.  Again, I fear that "anyone can"
leaves us standing in a circle holding out chairs for each other.

My suggestion: ordinarily the person who submitted the pull request
should do the merge.  There may be a need to fix things up, if other
recent merges have impinged on the changes, and the submitter is
probably best placed to tidy up.  If this doesn't happen within a
reasonable interval then any other committer who wants it merged (or
just feels like tackling the backlog) can do so.

"Reasonable interval" is up to the individual, but I would give the
submitter at least 24 hours.

Will do.

OK, I'll watch the change ML for this.
