If I allow anonymous cloning and pulling on my Fossil repo, you can
clone/pull from it, no different than a Github repo. Likewise, I can pull
from you if you allow anonymous pull from your clone of my repo.

I've been doing pull requests with Fossil for over 3 years, now - no
bundles needed. Just have to (manually) email the request. Then one of the
core members of the project pulls from my Chiselapp hosted repo.

But with bundles contributors would not need to have a repo on Cheselapp
(or other github like service). Instead of a pull request, just send a
bundle. Thus why I called it "push via email".
