Four questions Gescon answers by querying the repositories you authorise.

«What's the status of this pull request?»
Gescon queries GitHub and returns the status, reviewers, and pending comments.
Product
«Has this issue already been resolved?»
Returns the issue's status and who closed it.
Management
«How many pull requests are still open in this repository?»
A count by repository and age.
Engineering
«Who made the last commit on this branch?»
Returns the author, date, and message of the commit.
