That I regular miss MRs or miss documenting offline collaboration inside an MR does not mean that I don't want them. When I pull a trivial change from an MR and do the commit myself does not mean that I don't want MRs. I am just acting as a package maintainer in the way I am entitled to.
If I wanted a manager telling me what to do in what way, I'd seek employment and get paid for my work.
