Bonus points if the bot can figure out how many iterations the patch went
through prior to being merged - when I've recommended folks for commit bits
in the past, it's generally been because I've got to a point where I feel
like I'm just rubberstamping their patches (rather than needing to suggest
changes), so I can be confident they've worked out for themselves what
"good" looks like.

(Such a bot would be useful even without that though, as the folks actually
reviewing and merging the commits would still be the ones to propose new
contributors for merge privileges)

Cheers,
Nick.
