I like the idea with mirroring Fedora Git to GitHub. Read only mirror

While I like the idea of making it easier for people to submit patches, I'm not sure setting up a read-only GitHub mirror is the answer.
In my day job, I happen to maintain a huge GitHub mirror of a large open source code repository where the upstream has not yet moved to Git. Unfortunately, what happens is that people submit pull requests against the read-only mirror, but the upstream maintainers rarely if ever look at the pull requests. We end up closing most of the pull requests with a message that says "Contact upstream directly and try to get your patches to them."
I also think it would be non-trivial to map Fedora users to GitHub accounts, or to keep said information in sync.
