Has there been any serious discussion about using GitHub for peer reviews? Specifically the pull request functionality?

JOSS does something like this and it’s awesome.

I’m not sure about the pull request workflow though, how would that work for review? Is your concept more for collaboration?

GitHub would not be relevant in this respect because:

* It's owned by a (single) commercial corporation, Microsoft.

* There is censorship both by content and in some respects by country of origin.

* The code is closed.

but otherwise it's an interesting idea.

The C++ standardization committee uses GitHub to track papers submitted to them, see:

I don't understand how pull requests would help with reviews. Peer review is generally looking at the methodology and analysis, not simple typos or wording that might be corrected by a pull request.

Yeah, but more in the CS world and specifically with ML. There are still plenty of CS groups that don't make their source available.
