It shows you unmerged changes from your forks, and allows you to easily cherry-pick or ignore changesets into a branch of your choice. And, of course, pull requests, although this project is close-knit enough that you probably have no need of it. If you were not aware, you can also leave comments on commits (on specific lines, even), which assists the code review process. Might I recommend an account for sympy (named sympy, naturally enough) that has one repository that is a direct mirror of the canonical repo on sympy.org? That way, we have a nice place to go to create forks (that doesn't have developer's personal branches and whatnot), and if you feel like using the networky features of github, you can pull into that repo and push straight back into the canonical one. GitHub was built for collaboration, and the tools there really help if you take advantage of them. BTW, the Patches Tutorial[0] is quite thorough (good job!), although there are still quite a few hg-isms floating around in there (hey - I can fix that!). I'd suggest providing a link to it in the README, perhaps? I've been noticing more and more projects asking contributors to make topic branches[1] when they fork, and I think it really helps keep things cleaner and simpler for whoever has to look over the code and approve it. Whew - sorry if any of this goes against what you've already got working (or you're doing it already); I haven't really been paying much attention to the sympy development process.
