Mesa currently uses marge-bot extensively to merge contributions from
developers. It definitely simplified a lot of the contribution
workflow for developers.

AFAIR each MR was handled one at a time. Having said that, Marge also
has a batch mode that will batch together multiple MR's and will test
and merge them together. This was recently enabled for Mesa, you can
see this in action here [1]. I'm sure the Mesa developers will be
happy to share their experience with Marge on
mesa-dev at lists.freedesktop.org
