 ### Handling own pull requests
 
-When you open a pull request, it is recommended to start a CI right away (see
-[testing and CI](#testing-and-ci) for instructions) and to post the link to it
-in a comment in the pull request. Starting a new CI after each update is also
-recommended (for example, after an additional code change or after rebasing).
-
-As soon as the PR is ready to land, please do so. Landing your own pull requests
-allows other Collaborators to focus on other pull requests. If your pull request
-is still awaiting the [minimum time to land](#waiting-for-approvals), add the
-`author ready` label so other Collaborators know it can land as soon as the time
-ends. If instead you wish to land the PR yourself, indicate this intent by using
-the "assign yourself" button, to self-assign the PR.
