Unfortunately, GitHub does not allow pushing back to refs/pull/*. To get it to set you up to push back to the contributor's repo, you'd need to provide the contributor's name and branch name, which is much less convenient if you're just looking to try out a patch locally without intending to push anything back. If I can figure out a good second alias for that, I'll be sure to share it.
If I knew how to do that, I certainly would :-)
You may be interested in the
hub
tool, which has a command for 'check out this PR and set up a remote for it' (though I can't remember what it is at the moment).
Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately, it seems that it really wants to authenticate using username and password (even though browsing a public project):
$ hub checkout https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1785 github.com username: pitrou github.com password for pitrou (never stored): ^C
