A picture is so much better to explain these stuff. Here's what I mean, with screenshots I forged by modifying the DOM:

Cross-forks project view

• Owned by no one (it's noderify not dominictarr / noderify)
• Owner-less place contains the issues and PRs
• Shows you currently know graph of forks

Fork view

• Owned by dominictarr
• Has no issues / PRs
• Shows the files, commits, readme
