A pull request is when one maintainer asks another to merge branches.
If you’re interpreting this through the lens of a single main/master/trunk and multiple branches, then like both Farley and the author, you’re trying to interpret a foreign culture (distributed version control) through a parochial lens (single trunk-multiple branch).
The DVCS world is one of many sources of truth. For example, in the kernel community, Red Hat, Google, Debian, Android, etc. all have their own branches. Linus has a particularly popular branch. None of them are the main branch.
