[dmd-internals] pull queue management

[Sebastian Wilzbach via dmd-internals]

Brad, I think this is a great idea!

I have already opened an issue at the Dlang-Bot [1] (the bot already 
crawls the PRs daily and tags them e.g. "stalled", "needs rebase", 
"needs work" etc.)
So configuring the bot to send a daily reminder to this mailing list 
about stable PRs shouldn't be difficult.
Maybe we should start to send reminders as soon as the bot has this 
feature?

I will be busy for a few days, but afterwards I can have a look into 
[1].
However, if anyone else wants to hack with the bot [2] is a good 
starting point (accessible with --cron-daily).
