I should have something working soon, hopefully -- which should be sufficiently generic to be adapted for other devs. Regarding your case specifically, what's a good cutoff period for treating a pull request as effectively ignored/abandoned (i.e. no matching commit-id ever found in the repo). I'm guessing about a month, or do you want to go longer, in case something shifts to the following merge window? Regards, -K
