It's a few clicks if all you want is just to _blindly_ accept and merge it, without having it on your own computer before merging and being able to compile it, run a test suite, or perform some non trivial modifications to patch.
For this purpose, to me is much easier to just apply the patch set in my local tree, or add a new remote and checkout branch then to deal with github pull request.
