I strongly prefer pull requests that include only patches that were already posted on the list and slightly prefer to omit the patch replies. At least for me, a patch in a pull request has a FYI status instead of a RFC status that a normal posting has. [I'd like if all patches in pull requests were already (re)viewed by interested parties, so merge discussions could be high level or focus on things that we learned while/after applying the patches, hence there would be little benefit from reposting patches to the mailing list.]
