Will have a look in a moment,

Currently, there is no way to do that yet. It should not be too
difficult to implement code to pick up a footer in the PR description to
do that, I just don't have the time right now to do so.

Essentially, it would have to imitate the already-existing code path
that picks up the `Cc:` footer in the PR description.

If you're interested, have a look at the `parsePullRequestDescription()`
function in `lib/patch-series.ts` in
https://github.com/gitgitgadget/gitgitgadget/.

Ciao,
Dscho
