Enable the extension to set merge commit title and message PR
See original GitHub issueIn Merge commit workflow it would be great to replace generic github behavior with the following, more sensible one:
Merge commit title:
PR title (#PR ID)
(follows the existing fix-squash-and-merge-title
feature convention)
Merge commit message:
PR description (top comment in a PR)
BTW, I already have a working code, can check in.

@alex-111-gh Closing based on the discussion and lack of endorsement from maintainers. Refined GitHub would always stay an opinionated project of course, but please don’t let not merging that functionality stopping you from contributing other awesome features!
@alex-111-gh I actually like that you can differentiate merge commits from GitHub’s commit message. Also, this would create inconsistency as the commit message would be the new one only for people using the extension, not for anyone else.
