 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.
