Description
When a PR branch is created from a fork, Github gives the option to
Allow edits and access to secrets by maintainers
. This option is selected by default.If a PR author deselects this option, merging can become a challenge since maintainers cannot make edits related to the fork. See, for example, autowarefoundation/autoware.universe#5748 and autowarefoundation/autoware.universe#5731
The contributors guidelines should explain why it is preferred to enable repository maintainer permissions.
Purpose
