The primary development platform for pytest is BitBucket. You can find all
the issues there and submit pull requests. There is, however,

What about git (and so GitHub)?
-------------------------------
There used to be the pytest github mirror. It was removed in favor of this mercurial one, to remove confusion of people
not knowing where it's better to put their issues and pull requests. Also it wasn't easilily possible to automate
mirroring process.
However, it's still possible to use git to contribute to pytest using tools like https://github.com/buchuki/gitifyhg
which allow you to clone and work mercurial repo still using git.
