No, because then we add the implicit dependency on issue notifications to the PR module internals. I'm not ok with that.

> If we want to refator `csr`, `jep` and `approval` modules into `pr` module, it seems the NotifyBot can't influence it. Do you want to move the issue related feature from `notify` module to `pr` module so that it needs to think more? Or Could you explain more information about it?

I do not want to move too much into the pr bot, especially not any notification services. I merely tried to point out why it would be problematic to move Issue polling into the PR bot and that is something that needs to be figured out. I don't have the solution yet. I might have some vague ideas, but I'm not ready to share yet, mainly because I have more urgent issues to focus on atm.
