I've heard from other people about this approach, and I really like it
in principle. However, given you've opened a PR early (presumably
before the branch is ready to be merged), how do you then signal to
the rest of the team that a PR is ready to be merged, rather than just
'in progress'? Via comments  or something more formal?

Thanks,
