• Click on its title to review the changes as a diff, "Reviewing proposed changes".
• Create a branch on your local machine to test the pull request.
• Pull the branch to your local machine to test it.
• There is a form to correspond with the requester if need be, "Pull request discussion".
• If the branch is ready to merge, click the "Merge pull request" button.
• After the merge, if it is a merge that we may want to submit to the official DSpace project, don't delete the branch. If we won't want to contribute the branch, then delete it.
