Sorry, my comment was unclear. I didn't mean a circular dependency, just PRs that have a chain of dependencies (e.g. PR 100 that depends on 99, that depends on 98, that depends on 97)

They're usually not around for a long time, but there can be relatively large chains if someone is quickly adding new features.
