Sorry for the comment from the outside. Accepting a PR is only a matter of merging the commits or using something like "git am" on a file you create from the PR by appending .patch - e.g. https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/53.patch
If you do so, this will not close the PR, though. You need to add one of the phrases that github understands to a commit message, like "closes #53". This doesn't have to be a commit message of one of the commits you've just merged, it can be a separate commit (like the one that modifies the changelog if you use something like this). Even an otherwise empty commit will do (git commit --allow-empty -m "closes #53").
