I use this as a todo list of sorts for keeping an eye on Chef patches and pull requests.
I only really need it because we have a JIRA and also get pull requests, some of which match up with JIRA tickets and some of which don’t, and we require contributors to sign a CLA.
If you’re not in a situation like that, this will probably be pretty worthless to you, but maybe you’ll think it’s a helpful starting point if you get a huge amount of pull requests.
