+1 to not allow self-merging.

This should be the rule everybody respect. Moreover that's a common rule in all open source ecosystem/project and for good reasons.

Now, If a core maintainer do it for good reasons (typo fix, little nits, etc..) that's alright, but that must remain the exception, not ther ule.

Regards,

Joël

I've also been asked to not do it, I've avoided it since then, and think 
it works well.
Merging is a last checkpoint, and should be done by an independent 
manitainer.
There are many people with write access, adding a comment asking for it 
to be merged is not an issue.
