> Just fork a project to your account on github, edit in Ace, and then making a pull request when you are done.

Github's edit feature does all that: if you're trying to edit a file in a third party's project, it creates a fork and opens the file for editing, and creates a pull request when you commit your edit.

Well yeah, since you can't really test the code (for now at least, maybe they'll build some sort of testrunner via VMs later on) it's not like you can perform significant code editions with it. But for docfixes, typos or minor stuff it's very handy.
