There is really high volume of various kind of patches on linux-media mailing lists. Even with those pull requests it becomes hard for Mauro to respond and merge patches in timely manner. There is even a discussion related to this scheduled for media workshop during ELCE/LinuxCon. I think the rules may differ slightly across kernel subsystems, hence I find nothing unusual in using pull requests, especially by sub-subsystem maintainers or developers.
