Looks like there are upstream release tags, but if not, what I'd do is
tag upstream commits with pseudo-upstream tags and then merge those to
my packaging branch.

For example if you want to upload the most recent commit at the time of
writing,

git remote add -f upstream https://github.com/hboetes/mg
git tag -s upstream/0+git20200215.1.3992db3 3992db3
git merge upstream/0+git20200215.1.3992db3
dch -v0+git20200215.1.3992db3-1 New upstream release.
