Ah, apologies — it wasn't clear this was intended as an answer to that
question. This is one of those examples with the common email behaviour
of placing the response below a carefully-selected citation would have
helped a great deal, FWIW.

So the answer would be that it allows more than one person to
collaborate on a submission? I'm not sure we need a whole new process
document just for that, do we? It's not as if it's hard for people to
share access to their repositories, or just pull from each other's.

Precisely so.

Can't they already be discovered at
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pulls ?

This is the normal workflow. People (individuals or otherwise) put
together some work, discussion happens (and is archived and
discoverable) in a pull request. New versions of the tree can be
submitted to the PR at any time.

We don't need to invent anything new and different, just to allow more
than one person to work together on a submission.
