For me it would be better to keep everything under openwrt/openwrt for
core packages. Having bugs tracked in separate repo may be handy at
first but confusing in the end. The issue is fixed only once the
package in openwrt main repo is actually bumped. 

A problematic scenario may happen with an issue getting closed in the
separate repo as fixed while in reality still present in the openwrt
main repo. (since the package sill has to be updated)

What I'm doing currently is adding the Fixes tag refereincing github
issue only when the related package is bumpend.

So the idea is to permit pull request also there and give an alternative
to patchwork? Correct?

Ok for me for adding block... I would also set branch protection for
these repo. (but could be already active due to github org policy
already applied for openwrt repository)
