And Rainer beat me to it. :)

Yep. That PR interface could use some improvements.

Ahh... I don't like that part of the github interface. It looks like they 
always do the PR against master branch if you don't insist otherwise. When you 
create a pull request, there is an "edit" button on the right side of that PR. 
If you hit it, you can select the branch where you really want to do the PR 
against. Unfortunately, these branches are in light grey on the screen and also 
abbreviated.

IMHO that's best.

Just speaking for me. It's definitely appreciated if it's mentioned, and if you 
setup the PR like I mentioned above, you'll also get that info with the 
request. In any case, I always check if there is an older version where it 
makes sense to merge in (except if I have a real bad day ;)).
