However, like Antoine, when I've tried to do this then all I've managed is to get obscure errors from GitHub. Did I have the wrong incantations? Was the permissions toggle set wrong? (I thought the web ui said it wasn't, but maybe I misunderstood.) It's a mystery. Has anyone figured out how to make this work reliably or ergonomically?

I have used it. I don’t use it every day but I’ve never had it fail on me unless the contributor has unchecked the flag. I just git remote add <github username> <github url> then checkout their branch, add more commits, and push to their branch.
