We advise people to submit one function at a time, this speeds up the process and makes it easier to incorporate feedback. If there is a high quality merge request for an EE feature we'll probably merge it. We hope that instead of duplicating work that has been done most people will focus their efforts on the 180 features marked accepting merge requests http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/status/7964... By the way, some people in the core team https://about.gitlab.com/core-team/ do not work for GitLab the company.
