Isn't this the real issue that should be fixed then? Some way when you form a repo, you get notice of all the forks and PR's of the original repo, giving you the possibility to merge everyone's work and become the defacto upstream.

IMO, yes. Providing some kind of mechanism to make it easier to gain cohesion between all the disparate forks is definitely at least part of the answer. I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about this, though, and I don't pretend to have any real concrete suggestion in mind.
