Well, we're not looking at Github anymore, right? Just Git on Launchpad?
So the pull request thing doesn't matter.

We use Stash (Bitbucket) at work, it seems to give much better control.
GitLab is also popular. I really, really want to see us switch to git,
as do many others, but I don't really care about GitHub and I think I'm
not entirely alone. Git is wonderful; GitHub is just a git service, and
honestly a bit of a mediocre one.

I think there is an advantage to us being on GitHub which is the
community exposure, since it's large and popular. The pull requests are
a side effect of that, one comes with the other. I think we wouldn't
really have a problem closing out frivolous PRs anyway. Also, there are
multiple bots that you can use to "disable" PRs by automatically closing
them, if you really want.

I'm not sure what sort of notifications you're talking about, but
there's probably already an easy way to do whatever it is you want with
git, without tedious log-grepping. What are Launchpad's notifications
like?
