Pull requests are the best form of communication. Have you ever had a user propose a feature, agree to contribute it, and go dark? A pull request says "I did this work, I think you might want to use it". Even for repos that aren't accepting contributions, it's better to have pull requests so that users can fork and apply PRs themselves than not have anything. Even if the original organization isn't interested in open collaboration and just wants to code dump, the community can still fix their own bugs and if it becomes frequent enough a maintained fork might appear.

That's fair, but I think there should be another feature for this that lists out the forks and the change they bring. Or at least there should be a clear way to indicate on a repo, PRs are not looked at and won't be merged. So if you make a PR you understand all you're doing is just advertising your fork.
