That's completely fine...

... the problem is saying that this is the only approach.

In various upstream projects I maintain, PRs may be used in 99.5% of cases,
but there always are cases where a manual merge or a direct commit is the
best option.

Particular aspect of working in a distro is the number of repos one might
touch: it would be very unusual to commit to more than a handful of github
repos in a year. It is completely normal to commit to hundreds of dist-git
repos in one week when doing a mass change.
