This is almost precisely how I, a newbie to contributing, fixed a typo in
this PEP tonight. At step 2, anyone who is logged in can click the pencil
icon; if you don't have write access to the repo, GitHub automatically
forks the repo and commits your change to a new branch within your fork,
eliminating step 5.

The problem I see with this is that I don't know of any way to accept or

I don't believe there is a way to merge part of a PR. The rejected changes
would have to be reverted with a new commit prior to merging.
