I’ve submitted a pull request with some minor changes that will allow the code to compile on kinetic/lunar/melodic, I don’t have access to merge. Can the pull request be merged or can I be granted access in order to complete the merge myself?

@davefeilseifer I have merged your PR, add new version 1.8.18 and released into lunar/melodic.

Can you check if we can release this version to kinetic too? Or should keep current released version? because current kinetic version comes from different repository (pr2-prime)
