Something along these lines would be really awesome!
I dream of a Github UI that helps me see/search/discover other active forks of repos, as well as relevant branches/patches on other forks (whether attached to PRs or not).
When I discover projects of interest on Github without obvious active maintainers, there are often (somewhat hard to discover/find) other folks that have picked it up and made a few patches to solve issues they encountered, and these are sometimes quite relevant to my own needs.
- cben 11y agogithub's Graphs -> Network diagram is very useful for that. (shortcut: click the count near the Fork button.) Doesn't show PRs but all PRs come from commits on some fork/branch and those you can see.
