Edit workflow does not work

[mkmeral]

Problem

We have "Edit this page" button in our docs pages. When I tried to make a small edit and commit on a new branch, I got an error because the repo is protected.

Now the protection makes sense, but it also means folks cannot actually use this feature.

Expectation

I should be easily make edits and create PRs

This may be a maintainer problem. Visiting F​orking with the Edit Button - The GitHub Blog, it looks like this repository offers to fork
