I think you're missing a distinction between "pull/merge request
workflow" and the specific artifact that github _calls_ a "pull
request", which includes references to specific github accounts, a
discussion thread on their proprietary discussion software (vs an email
list or the python issue tracker) maintained on their servers and not
servers that PSF controls, etc.
