Why:

No issue opened; this is a one-sentence removal.

Since 2025-05-01, draft pull requests are available in all repositories, public or private, on every plan (changelog). The reusable for creating a pull request still tells organization members they "may need to request access to draft pull requests from an organization owner". The section it links to no longer mentions any access requirement. As far as I can tell, no organization setting controls draft pull requests, so the sentence appears to date from when drafts were plan-gated.

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Removes one sentence from data/reusables/repositories/create-pull-request.md. The reusable appears on five pages, including "Creating a pull request" and "Creating a pull request from a fork". The link to the "Draft pull requests" section stays.

If an organization-level control over draft pull requests does exist, I'm happy to reword the sentence to name it instead.

Check off the following:

  • A subject matter expert (SME) has reviewed the technical accuracy of the content in this PR. In most cases, the author can be the SME. Open source contributions may require an SME review from GitHub staff.
  • The changes in this PR meet the docs fundamentals that are required for all content.
  • All CI checks are passing and the changes look good in the review environment.

Removed the outdated note about requesting access to draft pull requests for organization members.

@WouterVanGoey 👋🏻 - Thanks for catching this and for the clean one-line fix 🙏
You're right, draft pull requests are now available to everyone, so that sentence is outdated.

I'll approve and merge this ⚡
