As one of the people doing it wrongly (using a branch of the main repo, 
instead of a personal fork): yes please, let's document that, as I was 
unaware that was a problem.

What Im not sure if it is possible to update a existing MR in order to 
use a different repo/branch. If that is not possible, should I close my 
MR and reopen it with a fork?
