The Minimally-Nice Open Source Software Maintainer
One thing I wish GitHub made easier is responding to a pull request with a patch rather than encouraging reviewers to type up a bunch of suggestions that the original submitter will have to turn into a patch themselves.<p>If you have a better idea how to accomplish part of a suggested change, you can communicate that more clearly by making a patch and leaving a comment explaining why.  GitHub should encourage this and allow the submitter some interface to easily incorporate that patch into his PR.<p>This is especially useful in situations where the only changes are in documentation or writing rather than code.  Dealing with a dozen responses of "s/topy/typo/" should be as simple as clicking a few buttons to accept all the corrections.  It would be less work for both sides.
