Description

Not sure if this is just being dumb or not, so I though I should post it and see if I get shot down or not 😆 .

I was trying to setup a webhook for "Custom Events... > Pull Request Events > Pull Requests" and I was using the "Test Delivery" button to try and test if my webhook was being received by my CI server.

With that specific option selected, I was getting absolutely nothing. No success or fail, it was as if no request was being sent at all.
I changed it to "Push Events" and tried to "Test Delivery" and BANG, I got a success/fail in the webhook history straight away.

I was stuck on this for a good few hours thinking I had something wrong with my networking or some wider problem.
As I said, I'm not sure if I'm just being dumb and for some reason the "Pull Requests" setting cannot be tested, so I thought it was worth mentioning in case it's a bug or someone else gets stuck.

Gitea Version

1.23.8

The test delivery appears to only attempt a push webhook, not other types.
