I will be interested in hearing about your experience with merge requests.

What I can see so far, in comparison with posting a patch, is that
codeberg omits the information about the committer and the commit date:
In https://gitweb.git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=inetutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=f6b14c9afeb0baedf235303545b05833ea497ce6
it looks like Collin pushed his patch himself, and already two weeks ago.
There is no trace of the fact that you approved and committed it,
nor of the date when you did so. (In fact the commit is identical to
the one Collin submitted at
https://codeberg.org/inetutils/inetutils/pulls/5/commits .)

Maybe the advantages are worth this drawback? Maybe that should be an RFE
w.r.t. Foregejo?
