An extension that would also be needed is to make the author suggestions ignore these merge commits too.

Maybe all commits which is merge from target shall be ignored as authors, even if not done in UI?

Exactly!

Maybe something to add in the future:

working on it .. to isaacs/github#1419 I plan to reuse a lot of the normal merge code ... so to extend the function should be easy (but I like get the a simple PR in first, extend afterwards)
