It is simple when there is a small patch set. I remember times when |
| 11 |
I uploaded to bugzilla about dozen of patches for review with |
| 12 |
several iterations. This is really frustrating and time consuming. |
| 13 |
So git pull requests have their own benefits in simplification of |
| 14 |
development process. |

However, there is no need to use github in order to use pull |
| 17 |
requests. Gogs or gitlab may be setup in order to fulfil this task. |
