Upon further studying, I have found out some stuff I did not know before.

First, `git request-pull` only generates an overview of your changes for human consumption, suitable for mailing lists, etc. Not to be used by `git merge` or something like that.

For the person to actually pull your changes, you need to have the Git repo hosted somewhere where they can reach it and pull from. They'll pull your branch locally, and merge however they see fit.

Soon (hopefully) I'll write a blog post for people not familiar with the process to be able to write pull requests for people that aren't on GitHub or something similar. :)
