Yes please! This would be fantastic to have. Already, pushing is not quite instantaneous since the hooks wait on e.g. pushing again to mirrors, and I don't think waiting a couple seconds for significantly greater peace of mind is at all a bad thing. > - Would the project be open to moving to a merge queue model? At least for me, no. I don't think it's necessary as we can already see huge reliability benefits without it, and the merge commit / signing issues are what I'd personally consider to be an instant dealbreaker. So I'd say there's a lot to lose and not much to gain. > - Are there others who would be interested in helping with the > development, testing, and maintenance of a git-hook service if that is > the chosen path? I'd be happy at minimum to help test it, although in principle I'm not uninterested in the rest. -- Eli Schwartz
