Excellent tool Kaxil !!!! I love it. I already installed it and I am giving it a go (and I might have some PRs soon - I already see one thing I would like to change :D)
I do manage a lot of those manually - but it is certainly worth trying to automate some of that especially if you work on many PRs in parallel. I have a feeling that this is going to be my new best friend.
