It's sometimes easier to send patches to upstream if you can just send them a
pull request. In fact, one of my upstreams (ola) has told me repeatedly
that they prefer that.
It's easier to send them a pull request if your code is on the same
platform as theirs.
However, using their platform does not require that you *only* use their
platform. My ola repository is on github[1], but also on salsa[2].
