but then you don't have the pull request feature, do you?

Software was developed before the pull request. Typically proposed diffs were emailed around. Presumably this is what the pull request is trying to emulate.

The anti-UI people want to use e-mail and command line tools.

It’s not a direct equivalent to pull requests because it lacks all of the easy history, inline commenting, comment status tracking, and ease of use, among other things.
