The "traffic jam" problem could be avoided by retaining the option of
pushing to staging.  That would occur without CI, but one could
occasionally trigger the merge with CI on staging to have everything in
it migrate to master.  Since staging would be used by the more
experienced people desiring to bunch their work before testing, the
triggering could also happen manually by whoever thinks he has pushed
enough stuff to staging to give it a whirl.
