What about automated notifications regarding a PR being merged or
issues being closed or merged or changed status?  These are a source
of constant useless noise when you subscribe to Github-based project.
Can they be filtered out, or limited to the submitter if he/she is not
an Emacs maintainer?  Or some other useful and flexible enough
filtering?

This answers the first part, but not the second.  It looks like the
Web-based workflows are still not supported well enough.

Thanks.
