Gmail issue/pull request status

[Mottie]

Submitted to GitHub:

I really like the view buttons I get in my gmail, but it's hard to keep track of which issues are open or closed, or if pull request has been merged, not merged or closed.

I would like to request an enhancement to add an issue status in my email. It looks like it might be possible to use something similar to the parcel delivery method to accomplish this request.

This is a really interesting idea, and agree that it would be helpful. I was under the impression that it was not possible with Gmail buttons existing support, but that parcel delivery method looks interesting.

Unfortunately, after a bit of digging, it appears that parcel delivery method is pretty tightly scoped to exactly what is intended for, and wouldn't support a use case like open or closed GitHub issues.

Maybe adding a Schema.org proposal for this idea might help it along?

Yeah, that's a great idea. I'm sure adding something like that to Schema wouldn't just benefit GitHub and GH users, but could be universal enough to benefit many types of services with bug/issue trackers. ✨ 👍
