So Linus is not favouring any type of git strategy or any of that stuff that people like to go on wars about. The only thing he's saying here is that github pull requests create a merge commit with a non descriptive commit message (only says that two branches where merged, not what was merged) and that the merge commit will be authored by a github.com user. On gitlab, you can define the commit message of the merge commit and the author will be set to the account that merged the pull request, the only problem with gitlab is that (obviously) the merge commit won't be signed.
