I just wondered if the Merge Requests (aka., Pull Requests on GitHub) are also imported or cloned while cloning/importing a Git repository, say from GitHub to BitBucket. While I consider that, it may not be possible because of the URL to a remote is already set and cannot be altered while the Import/Clone ( I could be wrong at the assumption); I am curious to know what actually goes behind the scene.

For Github in particular you can check out the pull refs and push them to your new hosting provider: https://help.github.com/articles/checking-out-pull-requests-locally/ But that's just the refs, you won't get any of the discussion around the pull requests or other "issues" etc. ```
