Description
Pull requests have all the discussion, tagging, search, project management, and other features of issues. But often, in a `gren`-enabled project, I'm still forced to create a separate issue when I've already made the PR that would close it (e.g. for a previously-unreported problem) because otherwise, the release notes would be incomplete. This adds overhead to what can be a seamless GitHub workflow.
The solution: I think `gren` should treat merged PRs as their own, self-closing issues if they don't explicitly close any other issue.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the release-note generation flow described for this Node module, especially how it gathers issues or commits from a tag and handles merged pull requests. Done means a merged PR that does not explicitly close another issue can appear as its own self-closing release-note entry without requiring a separate issue.
