I'd suggest following what other Github projects do, which I think is to 
run the CI checks automatically on every change that's made in a pull 
request - I don't know if it might also be necessary to run them during 
the merge, if master has changed in the meantime. That gives the 
_submitter_ feedback about any changes they need to make, instead of 
having to wait until the maintainer tells them their change has broken 
something: it speeds up the development process.

Wouldn't disabling all but "Allow rebase merging" do the same thing 
without the additional potential failure point? Though it sounds like 
we've resolved the problems with Mergify, so it's not important.
