It looks nice indeed and we *could* use it to have the main instance
for pull requests be our own server instead of GitHub, but we'd need
to evaluate if we could restrict authorization as much as we'd need it
(e.g. pull requests of non-authorized users would need to be addressed
by core devs, authorized users might either have full access or
restricted access (e.g. Matthias Gaertner could be restricted to
packages/fcl-passrc and packages/pas2js, so pull requests only
changing files there could go through as for ordinary core devs while
pull requests modifying other directories would need to be handled by
a core dev). Though we'd need to implement such restrictions anyway no
matter what we choose for the repo hosted on our own server...
