Trying to do this via the GitHub website.

I am aware of
How to apply unmerged upstream pull requests from other forks into my fork?
and
Github: How do I pull unmerged upstream pull requests in to my fork?
but these two are not about doing this via the GitHub website.

So I have made a fork of this repo.
https://github.com/saabi/vminpoly/
For my understanding this is the original repo.

Now when looking at my fork I obviously do not see the unmerged pull requests from the original repo.

Going to my fork I can see the exact copy of the original repo. However I am at loss trying to get a selection of pull requests from the original repo to appear in my fork via the website. Is this possible at all?

For example how can I get this unmerged pull request
https://github.com/saabi/vminpoly/pull/29
to appear in my fork and then of course merge it in my fork?

Can someone please tell me what exactly I need to select to get the mentioned pull request to appear in my fork and then subsequently I can merge it in my forked version?

After some research I found that this is not possible via the website since the fork with the pull request was deleted.

If the original fork where the pull request came from is deleted then one has to use the command line in order to modify an inactive pull request locally.
