I guess I'm still a bit confused about the process. So in case of inter-repo
dependencies, would you like something like the following?

1. ask the involved custodian(s) to merge my pieces that I depend on, but that
belong to different FA, and have them send pull requests to you

2. you merge those onto the testing branch

Should I then rebase against the testing repo, or wait until it makes to the
main line and only then come up with my pull request? (as there's a general
rule for pull requests to be based on the main line..). Please clarfiy.

kind regards,
Rafal
