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. > And for the record I have not had problems with messy merges > when commiting pull requests. 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. //Peter
