Hi devs!

I created a small documentation PR for the GHC FFI on github and noticed that there's another one-liner PR from May 2019 that was not merged.

https://github.com/ghc/ghc/pull/260 https://github.com/ghc/ghc/pull/255

Just checking that simple PRs are still accepted on github.

An excellent point. In my mind the move to GitLab has addressed the principle reason why we started accepted small PRs on GitHub. My sense is that we should move these PRs to GitLab and formally stop accepting PRs via GitHub.

If there is no objection I will do this in three days.

Cheers,

- Ben

This same workflow works on GitLab. The decision to allow GitHub merge requests was made when we were still using Phabricator, where this sort of thing was significantly less convenient and required opening a Phabricator account. Cheers, - Ben
