"Then, github detects the new code and offers assistance to 
create a pull request with just a couple of clicks."

The problem is when your own branch is a few weeks/months old. 
Then you have to do some upstream/update etc. magic. It happened 
to me once or twice. It put me off a bit, although I only fixed 
typos and trivial stuff like that.

It's not D, it's git(hub) that makes things complicated. It'd be 
good if you could just update your own branch on github (refork 
it or whatever) and then clone it onto your own machine. But it's 
not that straight forward.

PS Jeffery, the first steps are really easy. It doesn't take long 
to have a repo up and running on your own machine.
