Although they are called exactly the same, the GitHub download request and the git request-pull request are completely different.
git request-pull is for creating a summary of pending changes to be sent to the mailing list. It does not have default integration with GitHub.
GitHub Pull Requests is a fully featured feature of GitHub only. This allows you to merge and integrate code from another branch / fork. You can resolve merge conflicts, do code reviews, or add additional comments to a GitHub retrieval request.
Unfortunately, the git command is called similarly to the GitHub functionality, which makes it sound like it should do the same.
