This is a separate problem, lets call it, how do we deal with work

that has been submitted that doesn't follow the workflow, and work on
a solution for that.
Paul himself said that for patches that do follow the workflow (the
image patch Nicole tested and signed off) the workflow works. So lets
not change that, lets work out how to deal with patches that have been
submitted that dont follow the workflow, ie, step 1, one branch per
feature.

It's not an easy problem but it is one we are all motivated to solve.
No one. least of all me, wants to see anyones work go to waster. I
want Biblibre's code in master before 3.4, lets try to work out how we
can do it. All the while keeping vigilant and making sure all work
follows the one branch per feature/bug rule for the future. Combine
that with a better way of testing, and someone championing that, I
think we are looking good for the future.
