Moreover, for the maintainer of the alternative fork, it would be nice to be able to clone the pull-requests too from the main repo. They will be able to merge any new PRs into their own fork quickly and also to automatically inform the PR's watchers.

Yeah, that would be cool. The only thing you can do right now it's to just watch the original repo, and send messages to the PR submitters to open a new PRs against your own fork.



You can just fetch the PR's on the command line and merge them to your fork. But being able to do it in the web ui would be nice too.


I think a lot of people like using the web UI because you don't have to add another remote just to pull from it maybe once.

I'd definitely want to contact the creators of the PRs anyway so that they are aware of my fork.
