Can't merge a pull request, can only close it. Can't do either from the UI. IIUC, GH doesn't know who contributors are for their "merged" PRs. Net: A read-only bridge is worse than a hello-world r/w github project. Similarly, two bug trackers and two avenues for contributions means low ROI on any kind of process improvements much less where we have a weird/diminished GH experience.
