"Best solution is to keep code somewhere other than github. Is sourceforge still around? "
How about just stating in README about your PR policy in big letters? And if then people get angry because they were too lazy to read, .. well you cannot and should not please everyone.
Anyway, and what bothers me with GitHub is Microsoft, even though so far I cannot really complain.
At least they have not sneakily bundled adware with OSS installers, like sourceforge did. So they really lost all reputation and trust for me and are never a alternative again. I rather go with microsoft and that says something.
