You are absolutely correct. My apologies, as I understood the problem as "I have a fork and want to receive pull requests". This can be a pretty common setup for some git workflows. Everybody makes a fork and takes / pushes pull requests or branches from their fork to others. The main advantage would be that if you have a lot of branches they don't all have to be on upstream and you don't need to have upstream permissions for everyone to push branches or changes to. Nonetheless, I can see why my comment raised some confusion.
