Merging approved changes

Been a while since I posted - figured I'd through this out there to hear others experiences, suggestions, etc...
I am part of a small team of 3-4 developers. We host on GH using private repos. I am the primary DM/QA/BA/etc.
Despite our limited automated tests - I still need to manually go over the application to ensure it meets (what I understand) basic requirements. Hitherto, I have requested that devs send me patch files of the changes they made. I then apply these changes to my local copy, test, valid and in some cases demo. Once satisfied with result, I apply the patch/migrations, etc to the production server.
This works OK. I typically have the patches associated to tasks in Trello - and can pull them out and keep a communication/change history very easily.
We have considered having each patch pushed to GH perhaps as a complete branch, but I have not heard a compelling enough argument to do so, as of yet. So thats what brings me here, what says you???
Regards,
Alex
