It currently doesn't work.

I was actually just starting to learn how to make a Chrome extension just for this, but I found this in the nick of time. Thanks!! It works perfectly. EDIT: Recently with the GitHub redesign this tool doesn't show its check marks anymore making it unusable

Seems to work well from the commits page for a repo. I was hoping it would work for the commits page for a Pull Request, but it does not.
