You can at least pull branches of forks like "BugXXX" in the repo on
your local machine. Usually you do not want to pull the maint and master
branch from forks under the same name.

I don't know, if it can also be done on the Github Web interface.
Perhaps David T. and Geert should document their progress in the wiki?

David T. already pulled your work in
