I doubt that this is a serious problem. GitHub pull requests are 
available as refs on the main repository, so a single command is 
all it takes:

git fetch upstream pull/322/head

You can also create a named branch from the fetched commits:

git fetch upstream pull/322/head:localbranch

Or set your clone up so that all pull requests are fetched 
automatically:
