For pull requests, I go to https://github.com/dashboard/pulls/

For comments, I go to https://github.com/notifications

Maybe if I had hundreds of pull requests per week I would need something more elaborate, but for my current situation it's enough.

I never check my email for these.

That's completely fair otikik---try to imagine a situation in a team (ours) where the average is 30 pull requests a day and north of 100 comments.

Different workflows and environements, different tools.

As far as I'm concerned, I find Trailer handy even for my weekend side projects as it lets me reply to PRs and comments from contributors more quickly (I might forget refreshing Github's web UI, and emails, well...).

YMMV may vary of course. We're just glad to offer you an extra option :)

"I never check my email for these."

I've never been a big fan of email for things like this because they can get pretty noisy. To solve the having to track a lot of pull requests problem with minimal noise, I decided to go with a more self serve approach. The idea is to let users create logical groups for tracking pull requests. Below is an example of a logical group that lets you track individual pull requests from 6 different repos.

If you click on the links in the black bar, you can see how you can control the amount of noise. Everything is programmable so you can have it display whatever you want.
