The pull request tracker bot sends automatic notifications when a pull request submitted to a mailing list has been merged to one of the Linux kernel repositories.

At this time, it is only used to track mainline pull requests sent to LKML. We intend to make this a generic service usable by other developers after the initial testing period.

If you don't want to receive these notices, you have three ways of opting out:

1. Block all mail from pr-tracker-bot@kernel.org
2. CC your pull requests to pr-tracker-bot+nothanks@kernel.org
3. Mention "pr-tracker-no-ack" anywhere in the request body

The first one is the most effective and can be done in one click of a button in most email clients.

You can find the source for the bot in the helpers repository:
