They're pretty nifty: https://github.com/blog/712-pull-requests-2-0 .
Although if a record of attribution is a serious concern, having these
under github's control is less than ideal. If this is the main
concern, perhaps there's a formal way for the project to archive
github pull requests (maybe the github API:
http://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/ ), but that's extra work and
somewhat more nebulous (as evidence) than a straight mailing list
archive.
