  Extremely interesting article! I have a feeling that pull requests are now in much higher use than they used to one year ago. Can your data support such a claim, i.e. a trend to/an increased awareness and usage of pull requests?

    Yes, please see slide 34 of the attached presentation and also section 5 of the paper linked to at the end.

      Would not have thought that their relative usage is actually decreasing. Probably not for "serious projects" (now define what that means ...), though. "While pull request usage is increasing overall, par-tially reflecting Github’s growth, the relative number of reposito-ries using the pull request model has decreased slightly." This could easily be due to Alice's using GitHub for her own master's thesis and stuff ... :) Very unlikely to receive a pull request for these kinds of projects.
