A "pull request" is a feature of github.com. There is no feature of git-the-software called "a pull request". Which of course doens't stop you from sending an email requesting a pull. A "pull", including from decentralized third party repos, is a feature of git. But yes, if you get used to the features of a particular free service, you get locked into that particular free service. This is certainly part of the overall cost/benefit of using free hosted services.
