If somebody wants to edit it a bit for readability (and maybe try to
gather previous rants of mine), I'll happily take the patch.

And we should probably add some commentary from submaintainers too.
They often have their own issues. Some of them are the same "dammit, I
relied on a rebased tree of another", but I bet there are cross-merge
issues *within* submaintainerships too (eg there are some trees that I
pull that have their internal topic branches with multiple maintainers
where they merge between them, and some of them sometimes seem to have
a bit too much merging going on).
