Many open source projects use github.com for their contribution process. Although we mirror the Git core repository to github.com [1] we do not use any other github.com service. This is unknown/unexpected to a number of (potential) contributors and consequently they create Pull Requests against our mirror with their contributions. These Pull Requests become stale. This is frustrating to them as they think we ignore them and it is also unsatisfactory for us as we miss potential code improvements and/or new contributors. GitHub contribution guidelines and a GitHub Pull Request template that is visible to every Pull Request creator can be configured with special files in a Git repository [2]. Let's make use of this!

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to Git! Please be advised that the Git community does not use github.com for their contributions. Instead, we use a mailing list (git@vger.kernel.org) for code submissions, code reviews, and bug reports. Nevertheless, you can use submitGit to conveniently send your Pull Requests commits to our mailing list.
Please read the "guidelines for contributing" linked above!
