The whole point of writing a bot is to automatize the steps listed at
https://devguide.python.org/gitbootcamp/#accepting-and-merging-a-pull-request
and https://devguide.python.org/gitbootcamp/#backporting-merged-changes
so you won't have to do bunch of manual edits before pressing the
"Confirm squash and merge" button.
