PR2R Extension

If you or your company follows this workflow:

- developers work on a feature branch
- feature branches are deployed to staging / prod & smoke-tested / validated there
- validated, deployed feature branches are released & merged back into master

Then this extension might help you. It adds a \"Create Release\" button near the \"Merge\" button on a Pull Request which will open a new release with data from the current PR (branch as target, title, summary, incremented tag). You can edit, or simply create the release from here. It's just a little time-saver (:
