One more thing I just noticed. When I use the Github editor to make small changes to a file directly in my browser as I did in https://github.com/apache/maven-site/pull/629 and many other PRs, especially ones focused on docs, it offers me the option to edit master directly or create a branch, not a fork. I'd hate to lose that.
On projects where I'm not a committer it does offer to create a fork, but that doesn't work very well and requires multiple extra steps if I've already forked the project.
