As Robbied said, I added the /etc/dnf/protected.d/grub2-*.conf to the
grub2 package after Neal filed that BZ and he also mentioned to me
back then that pull requests were disabled for the grub2 dist-git and
I re-enabled it after asking Peter if he was OK with that (and he told
me that sure go ahead).

BTW, Peter also did the same for shim and added
/etc/dnf/protected.d/shim.conf even though the dist-git for shim was
open at the time. So I don't see how grub2 dist-git not having pull
requests enabled (for whatever reasons) could be a blocker since a
change for shim wasn't proposed either. I mean, one could attach a
patch in the BZ, send an email to a maintainer, etc. Is not that PRs
in dist-git is not the only possible way to share a diff...

Anyway, I also personally never said "patches NOT welcome" to anyone.
It may be that I didn't have time to review/apply some proposed but
that's a different thing.

Best regards,
Javier
