It seems almost every maintainer has their own script to send a pull request,
even if many of them are wrapping git-request-pull.

I was just talking to Steve Rostedt earlier today about maybe teaching b4 how
to do that so that at least any new incoming maintainers have a more
streamlined way of sending a standard pull request in a format that is easy on
both Linus and the pr-tracker-bot.
