Yes.

Yes.

First, open source doesn't start and end with GitHub.
Second, I prefer not to publish anything to Facebook or Twitter feeds, either. That's a position that folks seem to find palatable. (In fact, it's one that programmers appear to be disproportionately sympathetic to.) I don't see why it shouldn't remain so if the subject of the conversation is GitHub.

Opting out of the same kinds of personal broadcasting on GitHub isn't "zero benefit" to me. And if it is zero-benefit, it means the service linked here is zero-value. I feel differently. We don't have to agree.

I didn't mean to imply it is, but if an open source project finds it easier to use one platform (such as github), trying to subvert that by emailing patches sounds like a very annoying thing to do. It seems similar to submitting pull requests to the Linux Kernel on GitHub, which explicitly requests that you submit patches on the mailing list.
