Actually LLVM has their official repository there, not a mirror as GCC[0]. But they still do reviews and merges outside of github. linux kernel project does a similar thing.
The "linux kernel project" does not have its official tree on github, Linus just has a read-only mirror there.
You can confirm this by reading one of the bot replies to a PR [0]:
Linux kernel development happens on mailing lists, rather than on GitHub - this GitHub repository is a read-only mirror that isn't used for accepting contributions. So that your change can become part of Linux, please email it to us as a patch.
I know that the discussions and reviews happen on mailing lists and believed that this github repo is the official one there all these patches go, but apparently it's not.
