I think it is helpful to see what others are doing when they tell you 
what they are doing is ready for you. Or it'd be just noise.

Forking is branching.
Remotes are just a way to publish your branches in a place where
others can look at, so they can do:

 $ git log richard/hisThing..HEAD
 $ git log tim/master..HEAD
 $ git log jef/topo..HEAD

and see what's being done by whom.
(syntax is likely wrong, but you get the idea)
