A Pull Request is a GitHub feature, it doesn't exist in Git generally, so EGit (I assume that's what you also use) is oblivious to PRs. Maybe there is a special plugin for GitHubs or PRs.
Also, adding a remote is a one-time operation. Most contributors are recurring, so for me reviewing amounts to a right click > pull on the remote and a double click on the branch to check it out. I don't see any inconvenience.
