Is "offering potential contributors something that looks good but will
be fully ignored" encouraging? I doubt it.
We've had questions on #openvpn-devel about pull request 7, which was the
first time (on request *7*) that anyone was taking note that we offer
pull requests at all - so there's 7 pull requests out there that are ignored.
The official way to get patches reviewed is "send to openvpn-devel list",
and we shouldn't add alternatives - we already do not have enough manpower
to make sure patches on the list are handled in time, so let's not fragment
where we have to look at.
