Good to hear!

Unfortunately github doesn't allow to retarget pull requests, so if a
pull targets the wrong branch, it needs to be reopened.

The targeted branch is only important for three reasons:

1. Documents the intent of the pull request (the specific point release being targeted)
2. Allows the use of auto merge
3. It avoid unrelated code change conflicts, as in added features/bug fixes that were not there in the desired point release.

The third is the only real reason that a pull request should need to be reopened. Otherwise a incorrectly targeted pull should be fairly easy to apply. But rejecting incorrectly placed pull requests can help to remind developers where to develop their request against.
