A lot of committers do try to do just that.  There is no automated
process, however.

In that case you might post a followup, after some period of time,

Right now, you can't.

OTOH there are various ways to browse the PRs (web pages, periodic
postings.)

The counter-argument to this is that we get 40+ PRs per day.  Ones
that seem easy and/or well-prepared are probably going to get handled
more quickly.  That's just the reality when dealing with such a large
number of PRs.
