GitHub doesn't allow you to disable pull requests, despite many project (including notable ones like Linux) asking them to add this feature.

  They offer 3 options for doing so, in fact, in direct response to this controversy. I can limit interactions to non-new users. I can limit interactions to users that have contributed before. I can limit interactions to users that I have manually whitelisted in my repo. Unfortunately, only one of these can be active at a time, but the options do exist now. Go to your repo -> Settings -> Moderation Settings -> Interaction Limits

    Limiting interactions is not the same as disabling pull requests wholesale (you can disable issues completely), they are temporary in nature (you can only disable them for 6 months at a time), and in addition I believe my comment was posted before they announced the new feature -- and this is a feature people have been requesting for a decade now.

      Thankfully, they've gone and made it opt-in from now on.
