I took issue with it because by adding this extra step, we are inducing additional delay in the entire process. As you said, one review should suffice. All that's left to do after that is flip a switch indicating that it needs to be in the release branch. This can be accomplish in one of two ways: 1) set the Asignee to AndrewEdwards following the merge; 2) Set the Milestone to 2.065 anytime during the creation, review or merger of the request. Come to think of it, a combination of the two would probably provide the best solution. The author assigns the milestone when creating the pull. Upon seeing this milestone the reviewer assigns the pull to me after the merge. A two step process that requires one additional step from two different people.
