Git and LKML predate GitHub, and the kernel was the reason git was born (Torvalds was unhappy with other devecentralized version control software).
Anyway, everything wondered where "Pull Requests" come from? Literally an E-Mail saying "please pull my branch ... at ....". Git has special tools to create and apply mails.
GitHub copied most of the LKML/kernel development flow and turned it I to a web UI. That's nice, but the text workflow is often faster and easier. And it works. And it is decentralized (a key requirement).
So yes. It is not broken. And GitHub would break the decentralized nature to some extent.
