No. The GitHub repo is an unofficial mirror set up (as far as I can tell)
by GitHub and then completely abandoned by whoever owns it. It syncs
automatically with the official repo but nobody looks at the pull requests
there. The closed pull requests were closed by the submitters without being
merged. Most of them are completely broken nonsense anyway.
There's nothing very complicated about sending patches by email. You send
an email with a patch attached.
