GitHub can, and will, change forks for you if send a request through the support form. It is not exposed in the user interface, but the functionality is there.

Yes? If something is possible but inconvenient, that's clearly better than it being completely impossible.

It technically exists in a form where almost nobody will ever realize it exists, let alone be able to use it.

I think they say to contact them in the help. I found out about somehow without anyone telling me.
