> This doesn't seem to be about forking, but rather contributing upstream using a GitHub-like model.
Probably useful to distinguish between the concept of "forking" where you basically take the existing project, duplicate it, then start working on your own independently, and the action of "forking" in the GitHub UI that just duplicates a repository.
The latter is commonly used for contributing upstream, while the former would be when you don't want to contribute and want something independent.
