 ## Landing Pull Requests
 
+* Please never use GitHub's green ["Merge Pull Request"](https://help.github.com/articles/merging-a-pull-request/#merging-a-pull-request-using-the-github-web-interface) button.
+  * If you do, please force-push removing the merge.
+  * Reasons for not using the web interface button:
+    * The merge method will add an unnecessary merge commit.

 Always modify the original commit message to include additional meta
 information regarding the change process:
 
-- A `Reviewed-By: Name <email>` line for yourself and any
-  other Collaborators who have reviewed the change.
-  - Useful for @mentions / contact list if something goes wrong in the PR.
-  - Protects against the assumption that GitHub will be around forever.
 - A `PR-URL:` line that references the *full* GitHub URL of the original
   pull request being merged so it's easy to trace a commit back to the
   conversation that led up to that change.
 - A `Fixes: X` line, where _X_ either includes the *full* GitHub URL
   for an issue, and/or the hash and commit message if the commit fixes
   a bug in a previous commit. Multiple `Fixes:` lines may be added if
   appropriate.

+* With `git`, there's a way to override remote trees by force pushing
 (`git push -f`). This should generally be seen as forbidden (since
 you're rewriting history on a repository other people are working
 against) but is allowed for simpler slip-ups such as typos in commit
 messages. However, you are only allowed to force push to any Node.js
 branch within 10 minutes from your original push. If someone else
 pushes to the branch or the 10 minute period passes, consider the
 commit final.
