Just a small note, branches in mercurial are *not* equivalent to git
"feature branches". Git branches are transient, when you merge the
branch you can safely delete it and it's as if it never existed. A
branch in mercurial is a permanent part of the history, any changes made
on a branch will forever be recorded as being made on the "stable"
branch or whatever you choose to call it.

The mercurial equivalent to git branches is bookmarks, take a look at

I agree (possibly substituting a bookmark for a branch). And note that a
"pull request" can be as simple as an email saying "please pull changes
from this revision", it does *not* have to be a proprietary solution
that is locked into a platform like bitbucket or github.
