[scikit-image] How to move pull requests forward (devs, please read)

[Nelle Varoquaux]

Hello,

For style-changes (such as pep8/flake8) elements, I find that very often
new contributors don't know they can configure their text editors to
display the pep8/pyflakes violations. Very often, it is a question of
mentoring them through the process of configuring their text editors.
Recently, I've been either creating pull requests on people's branch or
pushing to the contributor's branch just before merging.

Cheers,
N
