I don't think so, the doc seems to clearly indicate that reviewers
should merge if they have the rights to.

Maybe what's unclear is the phrase from the first e-mail in this thread,
because "bringing the MR to completion" may or may not include merging
it, depending on the Reviewer's rights.

But it's all clear for me now, I don't think we need to do further
discussions or changes now.

Thanks for helping clarify this!
