This raises the question if the only way to contribute will be through GitHub pull requests. While these certainly are convenient to the maintainers, they do require extra work for the casual contributor:

OTOH, it prevents casual contributor from being lazy and generating a diff against random revision or unknown version of sources shifting the hassle to maintainer who has to manually review and apply the patch line by line.

I can't speak for any other maintainers, but I usually do this anyway. I rarely apply patches without any modification and I always review the entire patch first.

On GitHub, one may almost prepare and submit the whole patch with a bunch of clicks, while holding a coffee cup in the other hand.
