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 `` then checkout their branch, add more commits, and push to their branch. That's relatively simple, but not immediately obvious (at least to me).

This seems like a good point to remind folks that we have a "Git Bootcamp and Cheat Sheet" as part of the developer guide: https://docs.python.org/devguide/gitbootcamp.html

PR editing is one of the topics covered: https://docs.python.org/devguide/gitbootcamp.html#editing-a-pull-request-prior-to-merging

However, many of us editing it tend to be on Linux or Mac OS X (and are often experienced git users as well), so issues and PRs clarifying steps that are currently omitted, platform-specific, or otherwise don't work as advertised are definitely appreciated.

Cheers, Nick.
