There has to be an easier way to do pull requests. And maybe there is, I'm not a git expert. My biggest concern that I see isn't for my own packages, but as a proven packager, there are times I need to "group change" things. An example is that I recently helped with the EPEL 7 python34 -> python36 changeover. This required changing alot of packages. For the sake of simplicity, we'll say it's 100. I now have to fork 100 packages. Download those 100 git repo's. And for each of those packages I have to then create my fork pull-request branch. After that, the steps wouldn't be too different. I would make my changes, commit and push. I would then have to create the pull request (I currently don't know how to do that from the command line), wait for the testing, get the pull request pulled, and from there it's the same. For me, it's those first three steps that are the headache. Especially with having to fork the repo. I look at that and think that it's a waste of space, on both my machine, as well as the server machines. If there was a better, easier way of creating the pull request, then it wouldn't be a headache for me.
