Could you at least make it easy to filter and delete them? Like sending

The message body will always be the same, as I use a template in my email
client.
```
This was merged into master (.*).
Thank you for your contribution!

Second line is optional because I don't thank myself when sending my own
series.
So a simple email filter could be:
from: [email protected]
contains: 'This was merged into master (.*)'
Does that sound good to you?
That helps as long as you're the only one sending these otherwise "from"
is not the same. It would be even better it you could also change the
label in the subject to [MERGED] as it's easier to filter by headers
(faster than content search) and that may also help more easily tracking
the lifecycle later so you'd see [PATCH vXX] -> [PULL] -> [MERGED}. Or add
some header specific to these messages.
Unfortunately I can't do this with template, that only can have a fixed
subject, and not reuse existing subject + a prefix.
If I use a manual process, I'm pretty sure I will get it wrong at some
point, so I prefer not to promise something that will end up being
inconsistent.
