Dave already replied, but let me tell it in the point of view of one of the upstream commiter: GitHub pull request is a place where we can easily review code from others. We can comment on it, or just merge it. Discussion on the mailing list is mostly useful when there is an unresolved problem with your code, and you now about it. (For example, the doomsday question: "what key-binding should I use for this?")
