There's a right way and a wrong way to do this, certainly. There's a
world of difference between:
"Sorry, we not accept pull requests here. [CLOSED]"
and:
"Thank you for your contribution to Gluster! Code submissions and review
actually happen at $URL, not here at GitHub.

Please review the [Contribution Guidelines] and submit your request
using this process."

Speaking from experience[1]¸it'd be a lot nicer to get immediate
feedback with a nudge to the correct submission process than to have it
sit idle for 4 days and only see crickets. You don't even have to close
it; let the OP do that.
