The short answer is: yes. GitHub doesn't have the "patch" as a concept, only commits, branches, and forks. We only plan on encountering forks when merging volunteer contributions. Regardless of whether it's a fork, your ability to push to a branch co Ed down to whether you're a "collaborator" for that repo.
