We do prefer to get signed pull requests in particular when they come from other sources than kernel.org, mostly because there's another third party involved in hosting the repo and by using signed tags there's less room for anyone to do bad stuff with the repository without someone noticing. If you host on github, please still use native git pull requests and not the ones that github provides via the web interface. Note however, that given the total volume of patches there's no strong need for you to have a public repo just to send code to us -- we're happy applying patches at the volumes we're currently looking at. I can imagine other reasons for why you would like to have a public repo though.
