Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

CLI & GUI to make submitting stacked Pull Requests easy. Auto-restack makes rebasing main into multiple branches a single command. Submit PRs and request reviews from the CLI. Trigger the merge queue from a GitHub tag which handles rebasing, status checks, and then merging sequential PRs with no interaction.
