The only thing we found (not answered, but I didn't check so far with
pagure development team) is that issues and pull requests are read-only
git repositories. Maybe our short trip into pagure was too short to
answer this, but it looked like read-only, no push. One reason why I
want an local instance to play with so I can check wether my
feature-issues are really issues or just pagure.io instance
configuration settings.
Also no trace of the "pull requests" across different hosted
instance of it, but that can be solved aswell later.

I agree with Pjotr, doesn't matter for now, might matter later.
