Why are people talking about stacked PRs/MRs? Shouldn't they be called queued? A stack is LIFO and a queue is FIFO.

(Of course in some special case you might want to merge a later one earlier, but I don't think that's the normal case people are talking about.)

Why is it a "Pull Request" instead of a "Push Request"?

Someone named it that way and it stuck.

You request others/the maintainer to pull. That was the only way before the forges. I guess gitlab's merge request is more descriptive.
