The important aspect I think is that the one who pushes should endorse all new commits including those by other developers. Automatically transferring code from another place could only be an option if it can be ensured that only committers can be push to that repository. >From the ASF perspective, GitHub is a mirror.

A problem with allowing Github issues is how to close them when no commit would otherwise be needed (as in WONT FIX). I don't know how this is done for pull-requests that are not accepted.
