Description

It would be good to know when looking at Your Assignments if there is a submitted pull request that fixes an issue. That way the user can filter out issues that have already been addressed by an open pull request when looking at assigned tasks.

I'm not sure if this is something we already have access to given the requests we are making to GitHub's API. If this feature requires more API requests that we are not already making, I'm inclined to say this feature is not worth implementing.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing GitHub API requests and the Your Assignments display described in the issue. Determine whether linked pull request and issue data is already available, then define completion as showing both relationships and allowing addressed issues to be filtered without unjustified extra API requests.
