Named stacks: give a stack a human-readable name/description #611
Stacks are identified only by a number (e.g. #2213). In repositories with several long-lived stacks it is hard to tell them apart in the stack UI and in gh stack view without opening each one.
Request
An optional name (and short description) per stack, settable at creation and later, e.g. gh stack init --name <name>, gh stack link --name <name> ..., and a way to rename an existing stack.
Show the name in the stack UI on PRs and in gh stack view.
Accept the name wherever a stack number is accepted (e.g. gh stack checkout <name>, gh stack link <name> <pr>...).
Workarounds today (a shared branch-name prefix, a descriptive title on the bottom PR) are not shown in the stack UI and stop working once the bottom PR merges.

+1 - The Github repo's stack overview page would also get more useful then. Currently this page only lists all the stacks without name/author/content/whatsoever and therefore is completely useless.
