It makes it easier for everyone if you do, well except for you having to 
initially sign up and press the button to make a fork, of course :) 
After that it's very easy, since it looks like you're already using Git 
(just add a remote for and push PR branch to GH repo).

You could use `git format-patch` and send the patches on the mailing 
list, but this risks them getting lost/forgotten and it makes it less 
convenient (IMO) to review/discuss/merge them.

I think there's some related info in the `HACKING` file also.
