mr create takes a source in another repository; the web form offers only
branches of the repo being viewed. A contributor without write access has no
browser path to propose a change at all, which is the case the fork flow exists
for.
The largest of the web parity gaps: needs a source-repository picker and the access checks that go with it.
Parity: Merge requests "create from a fork".
