Yeah, the way to do this is with git remotes. A basic work-flow is as
follows:

$ git clone ssh://git@git.openembedded.net/openembedded-core
cd openembedded-core
$ git remote add contrib
ssh://git@git.openembedded.net/openembedded-core-contrib
$ git branch my-name/my-work
$ git checkout my-name/my-work
<some work and commits on my-name/my-work>
$ git push contrib my-name/my-work
$ ./scripts/create-pull-request -b my-name/my-work
