The reason you can't create a merge request is that your mesa repository
is not linked to the upstream mesa repository, they just happen to have
the same name but gitlab can't rely on that.

That link is created by "forking" the upstream repo, which you do by
clicking on the "fork" button at the top right of the repo's "details"
page, or this link:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/forks/new

I suggest you delete you gitlab mesa repo (but keep you local repo!),
then fork using the link above, then push your branch again.

Once your repo is set up correctly, you should have a message from the
server whenever you push to a branch on your fork with a link to create
an MR with that branch.

I hope this helps :)
