The majority of git users I know don't know how to create or apply a patch. The few that do only do so in the odd FOSS project that requires it.

Whereas when using Github you click a button, get your own copy, do whatever you want to it, and then click a button to open a pull request. You _tried_ to make it look like using GitHub.com is somehow... complicated. But it's dead simple and you even added steps, like "waiting for PR to merge" etc that is the same with a mailing list anyway.

I get it. You might like the mailing list better to avoid a single company handling all of the OSS contributions. But let's not ignore the actual good aspects of github by making up stuff. If you want to convince people to _not_ use github it's going to take more than this.
