No. The purpose of pull request is to discuss and review the code. Code reviews should be done whether you are regular contributor or not, because it's valuable for both the code base, and all people involved. Furthermore if you have CI properly configured, then it can execute tests on the pull request so you know the code is healthy. Of course if you work alone or have this is a fun OSS side-project, then no rules apply. Peter
