Certainly there is "git request-pull" but that doesn't give us a
review and decision making workflow just a repository to repository
message. Gerrit and GitHub pull requests provide notification,
publicity, and communication features to allow for review of a pull
request. Git doesn't provide this, it is something that has to be
provided over Git. Hence GitHub pull requests and Gerrit. I am not
sure what Linux does to provide the workflow support. What do other
Apache/Git projects do?
