I have all my projects in a Mercurial monorepo on my laptop. And then I use a repo converter to create mirrors on SourceForge and Github.

Now when I get a PR, I treat it as patch and merge it locally, before syncing the mirrors.

But then it is shown as not merged on Github. Especially the verified by github hash is cannot be stored in Mercurial

A D.O. representative talked about similar concerns on Twitter... my thought is that there are enough people able to do a plain and simple PR for giving out 70k t-shirts. This is nothing more that a corporate pr stunt, not a long-term opensource awareness effort, so it would be ok to just give out the t-shirts to the first valid merged PRs and call it a day.

Regardless, IMHO if someone wants to do a PR on your repo, asking you should be their first step.
