That's correct.

The only reason you find github (and other git repo) links is because
it's easier to pull a branch from a repo than it is to `git am` every
patch by hand. Nevertheless, patches are still sent here for discussion
first.

"Submitting your patch" already contains that information: "Send the
patch to the pacman-dev mailing list". Nothing else is mentioned there,
so this is the way we want it to be.
