With the way our commit policies are structured today (and these are naturally heavily influenced by the old svn model) github pull requests are really only going to be useful for people who don't have commit access / push rights to the canonical repository. Its a much handier workflo

If (part of) the motivation for encouraging developer forks is to allow the use of Github pull requests then I think I should point out that Github allows pull requests within the same repository now (no forks necessary.)
