Pretty much just with a push to a branch in your personal fork of 
FFmpeg/FFmpeg on code.ffmpeg.org

When you push to a new branch, git itself will echo you a link to create 
a new Pull Request from it right then.
You can of course also ignore that link and manually create it via the 
Web UI, or use the tea CLI tool to create it.
