Patches are welcome in whatever form. Discussions about patches happen on the vim-dev maillist. If you create a pull request on GitHub it will be forwarded to the vim-dev maillist. You can also send your patch there directly. An attachment with a unified diff format is preferred. Information about the maillist can be found on the Vim website.
You can confirm the contributor with the following command etc.
:h patches-8
:h patches-8.1
hey thanks for your comment. I see, that process is not that common.
I'm not saying that it's wrong, I'm only saying that I didn't like it and I don't feel that it gives proper credit for people's contributions.
Your survey is too shallow.
Vim does not depend on GitHub.
See document.

yeah, thinking about it twice, I agree, I was too shallow.
