This is the part that GitHub hasn't documented very well from the
maintainer side yet, but I think I just worked out the appropriate
incantation: https://github.com/python/devguide/issues/129#issuecomment-281891204

The trick is that you have to use the
"git at github.com:contributor_name/cpython.git" spelling when defining
the remote or GitHub won't allow SSH-based pushes back to their repo,
even if they've granted maintainer access to their PR branch.

Cheers,
Nick.
