Pull requests are sent via mail to the qemu-devel mailing list, see 
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/submitting-a-pull-request.html for 
some details. During the normal development phase, pull requests can be sent 
as necessary for new patches. Just during the freeze period (the next one 
will be announced on https://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/7.1 later), only bug 
fixes (no new feature) should be sent.
