I would rather not --- getting LGTM is a pretty lightweight action,
and in other projects when I thought I had a good cleanup, getting
review pushed me in another direction that caused an even better
result.
I'd rather not see glibc switching to post-push review for most
commits and pre-push review as an exception. Instead, how can I help
with making pre-push review work better?
E.g. if obvious patches are stalling without review, can we figure out
why and get that problem solved? (E.g. do we need something like
patchwork to keep track of patches needing review?)
Thanks,
Jonathan
