Of course, but 1. github users will not send email to a github
project and 2. if pull requests are rejected then github is not
the primary point of contact so then there is no problem.

As I wrote: It works fine but doesn't scale; the mess is that you
always get a merge commit, which is usually unneccessary for smaller
contributions such as those from users, as opposed to larger ones
spanning more commits and/or branches worked on over longer time
from developers.
