My hope is that with these process changes, we won't end up with
long-running branches.

Maybe we could add a recommendation, but I'm not really sure if that
would help. We still want to merge these changes when they and related
things are ready, so it's not really something that can be willed or
commanded to happen.

We can have QA highlight how long the issues have been open for, that's
quite easy to do.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here?

Thanks,
