Does not check for "notacherrypick" in commits

[rhc54]

I routinely package multiple commits into a single PR when updating a release branch. This greatly reduces my maintenance time, a critical factor in what is effectively a one-person project. The commit checker unfortunately does not accept the "bot:notacherrypick" directive when in one of the commits - e.g., a commit that modifies the VERSION file of the release branch. Such a commit can never be a cherry-pick.

Is there some way to modify the checker so it doesn't only look in the main comment of the PR, but actually looks at the individual commits as well for this directive? I hate to turn it off, but I really cannot use it with the current limitation.
