Ah, I was working mostly from the "forking a project" page.  It says "once you've pushed your commit(s), inform the project owner of the changes so they can pull them into their repo. The best way to do this is by sending a pull request."  I'll see about reverting my changes in master and moving them to a branch.

Is it really the desired location?  If I want to submit multiple pull requests to a single project, I'd think that each one should be done from a separate branch.  Using master as the default seems like it would work against this.
