GitHub pull requests (PR) are nicely handled by Travis CI service
(https://travis-ci.org/%e2%80%8e).
Perhaps, it would make sense to set up Travis for Boost repositories as well.
Then, for every PR submitted to one of Boost repos, a Travis build is performed
and PR sanitisation script could be part of that build.

A nice feature of GitHub+Travis integration is that GitHub PR ticked
will automatically display status of corresponding Travis build,
warning about broken that particular PR is broken, so merge with caution, etc.

Best regards,
