Description

The cassandra project (currently) does not permit commits to be pushed to the cassandra repository (trunk or any branch) via GH pull requests. It is easy to disable this with a .asf.yml file.

Note, our other repositories: cassandra-dtest, cassandra-builds, cassandra-website, cassandra-in-jvm-dtest-api, …; may be candidates for allowing rebased GH PR merges.

The cassandra-website repository is already set up to permit these, see here. So long as part of the PR review process tis checking the commit message is of the correct project format it works well (there are no forward merges across projects in this repository).
