I don't see why; if we're going to keep the current format, pull 
requests should use the format too.

I have the sense that pull requests work better in projects with a large 
number of occasional committers and a small number of full-time 
developers who triage and review. Emacs development doesn't work that 
way: among other things, there are no full-time developers, and we don't 
have enough reviewer time. So it may not be a good fit for the 
pull-request model. (It might make sense to change Emacs's development 
model but that's a larger topic....)
