IMHO yes. Even for me it is much easier to quickly do

- git clone
- edit source
- git push
- create pull request
(*this is the same for every project hosted on Github*)

instead of

- git clone
- edit source
(re-do following again for every single project)
- hunt submission how-to
- join mailing list/create account in project's tracker
- prepare patch in project's format-of-choice
- send patch
