That is true. In which case it is perfectly OK to have github only as a mirror :-)

Yes, I heard that argument and I disagree with it. Without pull requests you have linear history 
like this:

With pull requests you get obscured history that looks like this:

I find it hard to see anything about commit history in the second case.
