I've been working with several github projects and I believe the
preferred method (if the patches are upstreamable) is to create a fork
of the github project, create a branch in your fork, and then do a
pull request to get upstream to evaluate your patch. It's a little
convoluted, especially if you haven't acclimated to the way git works,
but it does work well.
