I think it is. Especially if you keep your code in a public repo, any breaking changes (probably just tweaks as opposed to huge features that break stuff), will probably have a pr filed via cargo.

From what I understand, the rust team has scripts that crawls the repos and compiles everything looking for usages of some feature being used that's going to break in the next release, and they will issue a pull request to fix those.

It's more subtle than that. For most things, we guarantee no breakage at all, and we do runs like that (though not against github, but against crates.io) to verify we haven't accidentally broken something.

For stuff that we are allowed to change, but might cause breakage, we will try to find stuff and send PRs.

But the default and our intention is zero breakage as much as possible, not just "we'll fix it for you". We'd guarantee absolutely none but it's not actually possible in a statically typed language, so we have to go with "effectively none."

Automatically filed pull requests against my github repo would be amazing!

Actually, you all looking through crates and sending PR's is pretty impressive in itself.
