The merge being blocked is not a concern unless there are conflicts between
other commits and your changes

Wireshark uses a restrictive merge policy that only allows fast-forward
commits. What that means is that if any other change has been committed
since you branched, your fix has to be rebased to include those commits.

You will see that message about being blocked until you rebase.

The Gitlab GUI makes this very easy if there are no merge conflicts, as
there's a button that either you or a reviewer can push to rebase. If there
are merge conflicts, then there's a little more work, as described on the
Wiki and documentation.

Reviewing is a different matter, and you will have to wait for one of the
core developers to review and approve it. If there are no conflicts, then
the same developer who reviews it will also rebase it for you when
approving the merge.
