No worries.  Example:

    $ curl https://api.github.com/repos/ekmett/parsers/pulls

returns JSON, so trivial to parse.  that + cron job + emailing
llvm-commits and we're good to go?

Should a code-owner decide to run this experiment, I'll commit to
setting up and maintaining this bit of automation.
