What makes you close all PRs?

This is more of a question directed to Phill but can be answered by anyone.

I was looking at the Exif Tool GitHub, after wondering if I can submit a PR to fix the issue I had a while ago. Saw that all PRs get closed, not merged but then you commit the code from a different name "exiftool".

I'm curious, why this approach?

I merge all PR's by hand, and usually I make adjustments when I do this.

I'm not really familiar with best practices on github, but I have an "exiftool" user that owns the ExifTool code and does all of the updates via the command line, but I usually use my personal account when accessing via the web interface.

If you are an experienced github user and this seems odd to you, then it is probably because I'm not.  :P
