Some projects accepting such requests (whatever that means, still unclear on that) could easily create the expectation that all projects do. > Pullrequests in the github are more than a way to submit a patch.

The patch would still go through review at KDE. Even with no github at all a patch could have been through several revisions before being submitted. The review always deals with the "final" submission (obviously not final if things need to be changed).
