Investigate GH Merge Queue

[c-pius]

Description

GH offers a feature called merge queue. We need to investigate this as an alternative to requiring branches to be update to date before merging.

Reasons

Requiring branches to be up to date became quite cumbersome as the test pipeline takes about 30 mins to complete. If we have many pending PRs (e.g., from dependabot), it becomes cumbersome to keep an eye on the merges and updating the branches.

Acceptance Criteria

• Understood the concept of merge queue including applicability
• Understood the consequences of introducing a merge queue
• Provided a knowledge sharing to the team and concluded if we want to proceed with a merge queue
