Also, that a test is added for a PR, or a commit is relevant to a PR, is a 
weaker property than the commit *resolving* the PR.  The fact that a 
commit *resolves* a PR (allows it to be marked as resolved, or the 
regression markers to be updated if it's resolved in master but the fix 
still needs to be backported) needs to be explicitly affirmed by the 
committer (possibly based on a question asked by a script) rather than 
assumed by default based on the PR being mentioned somewhere.
