Entry point is (has to be) a completely formed merge request in the
bug goo database; anything else is far too much work, and it's not a
particularly onerous requirement; by design you can stuff any
arbitrary thing produced by a front-end process in here with minimal
effort.

Exit path is not my problem; you can pure-merge from the managed
branch (rubber-stamping the group's work), ignore it completely
(discarding the group's work), or any point in between.

I can't think of anything else that matters here.
