All three members concern the Desktop update flow, where the update lock reportedly refuses a hand-off's own sibling custodian (exit 2, 'Another Hermes update is already running'). One is an issue describing the behavior, and two are pull requests proposing to adopt the custodian rather than refuse it; their outcomes are not established here.
