Interesting. Do you generate those by hand or are those generated by 
some tool? Is that tool in some repository also?

I have thought about a tool, which would collect patches sent from 
registered people and create a pull requests on gitlab or github, which 
would show their status. And if possible mark them merged automagically. 
But haven't found enough free time to play with that. Sort of external 
pull requests, which can be linked to bugs and tracked progress, if any.
