Yeah, merge request seems like the best terminology of the ones I've seen.
A Perforce changelist is more like a git commit than a GitHub pull request.
The way Google uses it, a "CL" means both "a thing you sent out for pre-commit review" and "a submitted change". It's very similar to a GitHub PR, if you use a master branch and always squash your PRs when merging to master.
