I'm not sure if this is something to do with github configuration for dmd, but 
when I merge pull requests for druntime or phobos:

1. The default message is the description of the pull request
2. I see more commits in the mailing list than just "merging pull xyz"

These messages are pretty much useless.  "Merge D2 pull 348" gives me 
absolutely no information.  I have to go to github, find the pull request 
itself, and look at the comment for the pull request, in this case:  Issue 5953 
- Too many trailing commas are accepted

Why doesn't the commit message reflect the description of the pull request?
