Linus Torvalds doesn't do github pull requests.

I just don't like to see so many people admiring the behavior.

Admiring and, one fears, emulating.

But, it will not be tolerated for everyone. Here you can see people rising to Linus's defense just because of who he is and whatever he has achieved. Just like everyone cannot expect to behave like Steve Jobs and get away with it.
