Sorry, but I consider that a plus.

One of the primary problems with GitHub right now is the "drive by" nature. Everybody is on Github because a bunch of idiotic big corporations made "community contribution" part of their annual review processes so we now have a bunch of people who shouldn't be on GitHub throwing things around on there.

Putting just a touch of friction into the comment/contribute cycle is a good thing. The people who contribute then have to want to contribute.
