I don’t think enabling this feature requires contributors to provide patches 
via GitHub, as attaching patches to the Jira is still available. I see this 
improving the workflow for the committers who are reviewing and merging PRs. 
Encapsulating some of the repetitive git invocations that committers need to 
execute with a one-click solution (which is only triggered after the normal 
review process is followed) seems like a substantial improvement to me.
