The person opening the pull request is shifting the burden onto you to figure out what needs to be done and why. I believe this isn’t done in bad faith; it’s a matter of educating coworkers about boundaries for effective collaboration.

My principle is simple: I wouldn’t ask you to do something I wouldn’t do myself.
