Github should have an option to easily checkout and synchronize with an upstream branch in the forked repository. My rvanlaak/symfony repository is completely out-of-date with symfony/symfony, so it would almost make more sense to remove the entire fork and clone it again then to make sure that their status is identical. Right now the easiest step to get a branch that is up-to-date is by modifying a file in upstream directly, which creates a patch-x branch on origin.

Basically having a button/action to checkout a branch from upstream to origin would be enough. The upstream branch changed it's default branch already for three times now, and changing the default branch via my local repo requires many unnecessary steps.
