I've ran into situations where my pull requests duplicated effort made by older unmerged pull requests. I know I should've reviewed all the existing pull requests before coding, but repos with more pull requests make that workflow pretty tedious. When you view a file on Github, it shows you a list of contributors to that file. I'd like to see Github also add a feature to show a list of pending pull requests affecting that file. This helps contributors avoid duplication of work as well as providing users an easy way to identify potential bug fixes that are pending review.

That's a really great idea! It would be a solid step in the right direction.
