You can reuse your existing fork and simply fetch the new branch in your local repo, pushing that branch to your fork.
Your local repo has for remote 'origin' your fork, but you can add another remote "upstream" referencing the mantainer repo.
You can:
git fetch upstream,git checkout -b Development upstream/Developmentgit push -u origin Development
(like in "Github: Import upstream branch into fork")
