Another option here is that when opening a PR there is a tickbox that says something like "Allow edits by maintainers". This box is ticked by default but the author can choose to untick it if they want. If the box is ticked then I think it means that anyone who would have permissions to merge the PR automatically has permissions to push to the PR's branch in the originating author's fork which will update the commits in the PR. -- Oscar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
