In the web interface you can suggest changes that automatically become
patches on the branch, which the original submitter can easily clean
up / integrate next time they rebase/refresh the MR.

>From the command line you can actually push to a branch even if it was
submitted from a fork. You can see an example of that in
https://salsa.debian.org/dgit-team/dgit/-/merge_requests/296 where my
MR was rewritten and merged even to the degree that none of the
commits in the MR were any longer mine.

I encourage people to try out using MRs, and you are likely to notice
details like this when playing around with the functionality.
