Description
We've talked about being able to better reason about commits and PRs. That's really hard, in part because of all the bot activity.
We should consider adding a marker to commits/PRs that should never participate in automated "Feature and fix reports". Many projects auto-generate lists of improvements directly out of GitHub. We do not.
As you can see, we have many bot-generated PRs.

Certainly, we can block-list all the bot accounts.
We could also consider adding other markers for other purposes, like community PRs.
