Not true. Github pull requests are for pulling from other Github repos/branches only, and they store unique metadata (e.g. comments, issues) outside of the repo. It is truly a lock-in feature. "git request-pull" simply formats an email template to tell someone how they may pull from you, but Github makes no attempt to process such a message or turn it into a Github pull request. Any Github presence of the tree will result in Github issues being submitted and Github pull requests coming across. We'd have to be prepared to chain that into our existing processes or have someone dedicated to closing every issue/pull request with "Use bugzie". -- Erik Mackdanz
