It's definitely the winning workflow in the open source world today,
particularly for smaller and drive-by contributions, which I think we'd
like to encourage. And there _are_ real tracking and review benefits to
having everything go through that workflow.
Do you have an alternative proposal?
Continuous Integration can be done without PRs (this is not easy in the open source world because you cannot grant commit access to every contributors, this is not a problem for us since only the package maintainers have commit access), in fact eXtrem Programming [0] is all about pushing as often and as fast as possible to the main branch in order to get early feedback. Instead of running the tests against a PR it is possible to run the tests against the commits in the main development branch. I believe that in our case knowing if a particular commit broke the branch is as valuable as knowing if the tests failed against a PR.
