+1 to what Myrle says. I especially like the idea of engaging the submitter to discuss a pull request. Even if it's to say "Thanks for this. It looks perfect as is". But often, there will be a bit of back and forth.
One potential problem is the work flow using the github tools, which can have the effect of dialog "off-list" between the submitter and the other devs. I don't know how to solve this issue except for one of the other devs to initiate contact via the dev list in addition to the issue tools. Are the github tools for the project configured to copy the dev list on every interaction on a pull request?
