Comment 2 for bug 1707367

I'm not keen on automatic folding into quilt patches. What we want are any changes correctly squashed into the correct quilt patches. If a drive-by contributor isn't operating quilt directly, it seems unlikely that the squashing would get done first. I'm concerned that if we encourage use of automatic tooling that will be wrong, people will treat that as a shortcut to checking that it is done properly.

This has been, IMHO, the fate of merge-o-matic for example.
