I think that you have to physically add the commits from MR 3111
before the commits of MR 3115 to make the pipeline get executed (and
tell the users in the MR description to ignore these commits).  It
seems that gitlab's CI doesn't support the case where you want to
merge branch A into an arbitrary branch B.  Branch B must always be
'master' AFAICS.

Maybe Jonas knows more.
