I agree. I won’t be able to cope with the amount of tech support I’d need to perform to make that workable…

@RacerBG is like the only member, so…  
Also the graphics has just a different kanban board on Github, so it isn’t that difficult to setup. [Graphics](https://github.com/orgs/Revolutionary-Games/projects/4)

I think this is a good idea.  
Quite often a PR gets bogged down because we can’t do proper A/B test on it to see if it is actually better or makes things worse (this is always my worry, which is why it might seem I’m blocking a lot of PRs from getting through quickly).
