Now that I've located and looked at the PR, I see that.

But I don't see a link to the PR in the commit email. Am I missing it or is it just not there? I don't even see any indication in the email that the commit originated from a PR, except I guess for the fact that I see that the Author is a different person than the committer.

I dislike this. A commit that closes a ticket clearly gives me the ticket URL that I can click to learn more. I wish the same information was provided when the commit relates to a PR instead of a ticket.

Yes, the person merging a pull request is responsible for making sure the PR conforms to our requirements before merging it, either by asking the original author to do so or by doing it themselves. (The same applies to committing patches submitted in tickets, of course.)
