Hopefully a pull-request can appear as a Git branch, so the maintainer who can't or doesn't want to use a browser can use "git diff/merge" and such to view and accept a pull-request. To review/comment on a pull-request, you'll need something else, and typically this is a web UI. Most/all of those are pretty much unusable in something like eww/lynx. But there's a good chance someone can code up an ad-hoc Emacs interface to the system (something like sx.el). Stefan
