You can still use github for pull requests - you just can't merge the pull requests to github directly. For the time being, a committer will need to manually bring the pull request commit from the pull request branch to the git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-groovy.git repo. We can probably build some tooling around this workflow, but at the least, nothing needs to change in the non-committer workflow.
