If you add a CONTRIBUTING file to the

tries to create a PR [1].
That is a fantastic idea. In fact, it's one of the bugs currently
blocking the "Reduce Barriers to Entry" theme here at Eclipse.

is possible to close pull requests, but the Foundation would have
to replicate permissions to the mirrors for all projects to give
the respective committers "Push" permissions to their repos on
GitHub.
I suspect this would be a big maintenance issue though as that
would mean we'd have to keep them in sync somehow with the
Foundation systems.
That may not be such a big maintenance burden. In the bug below,
we're deploying a script that will do such a sync. The only
requirement will be for projects to add the Github repo to their
repo list on PMI.
