All "git request-pull" does is output an email template, including a url
+branch and a summary of the changes (subjects, authors, diffstat) found
at that location relative to a baseline (which is also specified).
The layout is consistent so it's not unimaginable to create some service
or script could consume such a mail, pull the changes and register them
into whatever you want.
Also, for convenience, the layout is such that you can type "git pull "
and then cut-and-paste a single line (i.e. triple click, move, middle
paste) from the message into your shell to do the pull.
