They're both pretty easy to deal with.  See

  http://git.racket-lang.org/intro.html#collaborating_with_others

for a few options with recipes to follow when doing this.

BTW, one more thing to consider is that a pull-request can be done in
the usual way even for a repo that is hosted on github.  The main
difference is that you end up sending a pull request to a person who
would do the pulling instead of clicking through the GH gui (resulting
in an email that I receive and forward to the responsible party).  The
recievier side is doing the same thing anyway -- using git directly
rather than using the github interface (which is essentially
cherry-picking commits from one repo to another).
