Hello,

I'm not an expert in the field but I would like to chip in on this.
The github interface is a just a convenience on top pull requests and
provides things like syntax highlighted diffs, shows whether the
commit merges cleanly, allows commenting etc.

If the problem with the interface is that it's not visible to users on
mailing-lists, we can most probably use github API to send an email to
mailing-lists when a new pull request is opened. I like the github
interface a lot and would like to see us using it more.
