Nathan,

I am not sure if this is a terminology issue or just being new to github. (I
feel you. We have all been there!)

Where do they submit the PR from?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14906187/how-to-submit-a-pull-request-from-a-cloned-repo

The only other option is to email patches.

I do not have any expertise with patches in git other than I can run ' git
format-patch <my branch point>'

Can anyone tell me what repo, what branch the following is to/from and where
it should be applied to?

PRs add rich content and context (what branch this applies to at a minimum)-
that is why they are today's "best practices"

I would ask all of us to think about new tools[1] and not be doing things
just because[2]

There is no problem here. Anyone can clone the repo, work on the feature
branch, and submit PR or patch for the upstream feature branch.
