So you would want a comment when the PR reaches "awaiting merge" with instructions requesting the author do their own squash commit to simplify the message for us?

That would work. It could say that the PR consists of multiple commits and the commit message needs to be summarised when merging, and suggest that if the submitter is willing, they could squash and summarise the message themselves. I don't want to give the impression we're insisting the submitter squash, rather we're pointing out there's an additional step needed and the submitter can help by doing that step if they wish.

There's also https://github.com/python/bedevere/issues/14 to help post-commit remind core devs when they forgot to do something. While it would be too late to fix a problem, hopefully regular reminders would still be helpful.

Yeah, that would probably be useful for regular committers.
