My understanding as a Github and Gitlab user is the usual way to make a 
PR is to first fork the repository, then commit changes to a branch on 
your fork, and then send a PR which compares the fork to the master 
branch of upstream.

If you can't make a repository, I'm not sure how you would do a PR. It 
sounds like you're saying there's another way to do it, but I'm not 
familiar with it and I expect many other people are not either.
