GH, as a closed system, intentionally limits what we can do with it. I'm pretty sure I asked in the past to turn off PRs and was told that's not possible.

[...] That is certainly the effect we get from GitHub's PRs and the ASF non-integration, but it's not necessarily true of the PR concept in general. -- - Julian
