I just realized that you probably don't have commit access and thus can't work directly in HEAD even if you wanted to, yet, my opinion is unaltered. However, it means you'll need to work closely with somebody who has DOES have commit access so that your patches can be cleaned up and committed without too much delay. Like I said, this only applies if you've got open ended changes in mind, if you've got a limited scope in mind for your changes that is doable in a reasonably short time frame then a Github branch is great.
