80% of my interaction with github is via email. I and am sure most people once they get used to email workflows will find email lot more effective than the UI. It is true you can only comment via github officially today and not create a pull request itself. It is trivial to use their read the email and use their API to create one. There are projects doing the other way [1] generating a email pull request. If there were "open standards" for pull requests/ Merge requests then git should have implemented it as part of the protocol the transportation medium is explicitly left out of the protocol for a good reason.
