I'm wondering if this largely happens due to people's insteadOf rules.
We've established that git-request-pull will quietly substitute URLs in
the emails it generates if a matching insteadOf rule is found. I started
a discussion related to this on the git list, but it veered a bit
sideways:

I'm not sure that would be very effective. Folks tend to ignore bots,
and with this one we're specifically recommending "add it to your ignore
list if you don't want notifications." I think an email from you for
such (rare) cases would be a better way to indicate that something in
the pull request needs to be changed.
