Good to hear!

The targeted branch is only important for three reasons:
1. Documents the intent of the pull request (the specific point
release being targeted)
2. Allows the use of auto merge
3. It avoid unrelated code change conflicts, as in added
features/bug fixes that were not there in the desired point
release.
The third is the only real reason that a pull request should need
to be reopened. Otherwise a incorrectly targeted pull should be
fairly easy to apply. But rejecting incorrectly placed pull
requests can help to remind developers where to develop their
request against.
