It’s an obvious fact, but if you need proof, there are stats showing that people spend up to 80 percent of their average workday on activities of little to zero value.

When Merge Queue, or MQ for short, joined one of our projects, we all felt relieved. This guy has taken on the arduous task of managing access to the GitHub repository. How does it work?

After the repository is free, MQ pings the next contributor in a waiting line.
