[CentOS-devel] CentOS Stream Pull Requests: How to know about them?

Some early contributors have used pull requests on git.centos.org to
demonstrate their changes, but also filed bugzillas to notify the
maintainers, linking to the respective pull request.  Functionally
this is the same as attaching a patch file to a bugzilla, just
presented slightly better.  The pull request cannot be merged
directly, and it's still up to the RHEL maintainer to take the patch
(either from a bugzilla attachment or appending .patch to the pull
request URL) and applying it to internal dist-git.

As others have stated, real mergeable pull requests are coming as part
of the 9 workflow.
