"The site" is the forge we would be using. E.g. a local installation of 
Gitlab, known to all. Or some other forge software.

One more reason to host PRs on the official forge installation, not on 
some faraway mirrors.

Nobody mistakes submitted patches on the mailing list for the official 
GNU code. There is no reason for anyone to mistake the submitted PRs for 
that either.

That section is literally "contributions under consideration", why would 
anyone think it's the project code already?
