I do like to receive notifications when a PR is merged (or when a patch
or patchset is applied). Note that I don't care if this notification is
sent in-reply to the original email or in a separate email. I know Mark
(Brown) has it automated in some way, not sure if it's through patchwork
or if he's using a custom tool, and I'm also not sure it works for pull
requests.

Anyway, it's just a nice thing to have, and I can do without it if it's
too complicated to automate.

Regards,

Boris
