Oh, I think github is an _excellent_ hosting service.
I just can't stand their web workflow for creating commits and merging code.
At least at some point it was really easy to generate totally horrible commit messages using the web interface without the proper header line etc. I _think_ that got fixed. But the merge codeflow still doesn't work at all for the kernel.
(To be fair, I've used it for _other_ projects, and there it can work really really well, together with all the test infrastructure etc).
They also have a very spammy email system where people can add me to their projects and "invite" me, and I get email about it.
But again - as a hosting site for kernel pulls, it's one of the better ones.
So you definitely don't need a kernel.org account to send me pull requests, github is in fact much better than some others (infradead is very slow to pull for me, for example).
A kernel.org pull doesn't strictly need a signed tag - I do kernel.org pulls over ssh, and I trust the user security there. Any other hosting service I _do_ require that the pull requests are proper signed tags, though.
But even that difference is largely gone: for kernel.org pulls I've very heavily favored signed tags, and I think almost all of them are using them by now.
