    I'll take the risk of making a fool of myself...

    I'm not quite sure, but this change would break the build for 5.x
    boxen. You'd have to add more logic to differentiate between the
    branches. BTW, you can have send-pr(1) save the PR instead of
    expediting it out. Maybe you could post a complete PR here?
