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 don't know either. Adding .patch to the PR URL, downloading the thing, editing as necessary and crediting the author in the commit message would be much much faster.
