Agreed, I know there was a discussion at some point of putting pagure on top of dist-git to facilitate this sort of thing, having dealt with a LOT of packages when doing arch bringups etc having to file bugs, await responses from maintainers is a lot of work for often what is a few line fix which is blocking a vast work flow so the ability for people to push directly is essential but the ability to have pull requests would be a great addition to the work flow.
