Marge bot integration

[Nate Graham]

We have this issue all over Plasma. I think adopting a bot to do it 
would be a great idea.

It seems like this could also be used to automatically cherry-pick 
commits. Perhaps if the merge request has `cherry-pick` in its tags, it 
could automatically cherry-pick the commits to a branch corresponding to 
the milestone. That would get rid of another annoying manual chore.
