Well, technically (and as I'm sure you already know) pull requests are email-based[1] (they are used for Linux kernel development after all), so SourceHut already "supports" it. It could make sense to leverage that in the web UI. User A, who prefers email, emails the output of git request-pull to the mailing list, while user B, who prefers web, presses some button that does that for them. Doing the actual pull would work similarly. It also shares the advantages you listed, although an emailed patch stays in your mailbox backups forever, whereas a pull request URL could become invalid. That said, I'm sure it's easy to underestimate the effort it takes to build a nice pull request UI. It definitely would make SourceHut more attractive for many people, but so would a nice Git plugin for VS Code that provides a nice UI for automating the git send-email process.
