There is this [1].

This is incorrect.  GitHub will automatically mark PRs as “Merged”
when their tip commit lands in the target branch.  I haven't looked up
docs for when this landed (if it was even announced), but next to
GitHub's “Merge pull request” button there's currently an “or view
command line instructions” link which sketches out some command-line
Git to accomplish the same thing.

But I agree that it's nice to keep the discussion around pull requests
somewhere portable.

Cheers,
