Don't put them in the upstream git repo. Let people decide where they
want to have them -- all Fedora contributors have access to
fedorapeople.org git hosting and there is github one button click
('Clone') away from the github mirror.

It is not a problem to keep a separate git branch published this way.

May be I misunderstand you -- if you just want people to propose merge
requests on github with pre-defined names, then that's just fine.
