Context

We need to block releasing if there are open PRs for merge up. See here for more details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_AJPIWUyvGvYT8Lb_TUb5au9gAKl5NzxO1sNcIThIrg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.8kgq8vs0v7jg

Definition of done

We should create some kind of hook in the workflow to fail if this (or some variation) returns any data:

gh pr list -R mongodb/mongo-go-driver --state open \
  --json number,title,baseRefName,url -q '.[] | select(.title | startswith("Merge release/")) | "#\(.number) \(.title) -> \(.baseRefName)"'

Pitfalls

Not investigated.
