The other reason is that many of the repository 'maintainers' use the
Github merge button instead of manually applying the patches in their
git repository and uploading.  For the non-kernel repositories it is
much more convenient and easier to track if they are in a PR.

I actually had it that way at one point and then started getting too
many bounces with people that either hadn't properly 'git-config
user.email'd or edited in Github directly which scrubs the commit author
email.  I'll have to think about the best way to detect that so my bot
doesn't get tons of bounces.
