It's not possible, but if you provide a link to the pull process
in a problem report at bugzilla.freebsd.org, this might work, even
if it takes a bit more work.

> There are 61 pull requests here:

Yes, we're aware, but there's no automation that provides
a PR from a pull request. I vaguely remember that someone was working
on some stuff to get this, but I might mis-remember.
