I guess the point of Stefan is not to use github because of github
as webservice and/or company, but to be able to make a pull request
directly and not to make it by wrapping the changes into an email.<br>
<br>
Stefan, so far I know (please correct me if I'm wrong), the
development (and commitment) of openwrt is actually made on SVN
(passed forward to GIT) and not directly on GIT. SVN does not have
such mechanism like "pull requests". If it was done fully as
GIT-repository you could use the pull request feature also without
using github. "pull requests" are a GIT feature and not a github
feature. One of the github features is the fancy web-GUI around it
:-)<br>
<br>
PS: I must confess that sending changes by e-mail is still new for
me, but it is makable :-) If some day a direct pull request would be
possible... That would be very nice.<br>
<br>
