Not so much when you are the > maintainer of said piece. In the drive-by contributor role I've always found pull requests unwieldy. I thought they were intended for frequent contributors or project members, for whom the added clicking might be a small burden compared to all the work they do for the project. Perhaps pull requests are convenient for a maintainer who receives them in large numbers – I've only ever received one pull request so I can't judge – but I don't see how they would encourage drive-by contributions. If you want to encourage drive-by contributions, then you should make it easy to submit a patch without first registering an account, forking a project and so on. Björn Persson
