Thank you for correcting me.  It seemed to me that what the initiator
wants to do is logically to push to the repo, and that implied it
would be a request to push.

Would you like to describe "management" and "interfaces" more concretely?
What do these features look like to a user?

Are they attractive to typical users?  If so, how?

Is that integration what draws typical users to pull requests?  When
they ask us to support pull requests, are they really asking for this?

If what they want is that, does it follow that "implementing pull
requests in Savannah" is an incoherent goal?

Could a sufficient subset of this integration be found that would be
both (1) attractive to users and (2) doable within our practical and
moral constraints?
