Description

Listing of PR commits is useful for curated branches, but the PRs for the Kafka project are often for organic branches and some of them has a large number of commits that are basically noise. Listing is also not useful if there is a single commit in the PR.

This change in the PR script will not list the commit if there is a single one and let the merger decide whether listing the commits is useful or not for other cases.
