My experience with contributing to repositories hosted on GitHub, from
repositories hosted elsewhere, necessitates the question:

What is being done to stave off the common response, addressed by GitHub
users to people submitting a change as a link to their Git repository,
of “can you please submit that as a GitHub pull request”?

That common response makes for an unnecessary and IMO unacceptable
pressure toward centralisation. GitHub's “pull request” workflow is
entirely proprietary and can only be done within GitHub.

What will be done to ensure other Git repositories remain on a level
playing field not only technically, but socially?
