This shouldn't be a problem if we disable everything except squash and merge and require all commits to go through PRs. We do have a big problem with commits that go straight into the source tree without a PR or a code review.
Branch vs fork is a red herring. IMHO working on branches is much simpler and shouldn't clutter the commit logs.
