When looking at pull requests, first check for [proper commit messages](http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/12137724/Bug-Fixing-Guide).
Do not merge pull requests directly through GitHub's interface.
+Most pull requests are a single commit; cherry-picking will avoid creating a merge commit.
+It's also common for contributors to make minor fixes in an additional one or two commits.
+These should be squashed before landing in master.
