See what pr-tracker-bot is saying: I'm not sure *why*, but
pr-tracker-bot clearly says that it thought you asked me to pull
"refs/heads/master"

And that master is some really old state from 2017, so it's very much
in my tree, and pr-tracker-bot thus thinks it has been merged.

[ Time passes ]

Oh, I have a clue: pr-tracker-bot also says

  "The pull request you sent on Fri, 14 Feb 2025 16:36:43 -0500"

but that's not the date of your pull request, it's actually the date
of your message to Stephen.

So I think pr-tracker-bot triggered on the subject line of that email
having that "[PULL]" on it too, and then when it tried to parse the
pull request, it didn't find a branch at all, and picked the master
branch as the default.

Anyway, I hadn't pulled your real pull request yet, but I bet that
when I do and push it out, you'll get another notification from the
bot. This time for the real thing.
