"pull request" is a webby github-ism - the workflow of most GNU projects does
not require a web browser for any task - it is to send patches via email, and
discuss them in via email - you can make patches from git with a command of
this form:

$ git format-patch origin/master..HEAD

that will produce a *.patch file for each commit which is on the current
branch, but is not yet merged into the upstream 'master' branch - then send
another email to this list, with those patch files attached

people who receive that email and want to apply those patches, will copy those
patches to disk and run a command of this form:

$ git am *.patch

(some email clients such as 'aerc' can do that automatically)

after that, their VCS will have the same commits as yours
