I agree with Derek on this topic, I think it is unreasonable to have
two ways to merge patches into the main repository.

Once the "merge button" is operational, all direct push to the
repository should be restricted and always required to go through PR.

There may still be communication/review overlap between ML/forgejo,
but ultimately it should go through one path of merge/approve.
