I do like to receive notifications when a PR is merged (or when a patch or patchset is applied). Note that I don't care if this notification is sent in-reply to the original email or in a separate email. I know Mark (Brown) has it automated in some way, not sure if it's through patchwork or if he's using a custom tool, and I'm also not sure it works for pull requests.
Anyway, it's just a nice thing to have, and I can do without it if it's too complicated to automate.
Regards,
Boris
