Broken/incompatible/out of date branches about elasticboard HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm thinking for every event that we get that a branch was updated we would have to try and merge it and see if the changes apply OK. If they do, keep a green light, if not, alert. This approach requires adding some extra state/information to the data store, but it's better than performing the check on every page load.

Yes, of course, this is got GitHub does it already

Github API only gives data about if a branch is mergeable for pull requests (see here).
I know we use a pull request for every issue, so would it be a good start to have a widget showing which pull requests are not mergeable?

Yup, pull requests are the biggest use case.
