Was not Git supposed to simplify things?
True, that's the recommended procedure. Note however that you can edit the file "in-place" from github, and it will take care of the fork and pull request for you. All you need to do is edit the file on a web form.
That has the drawback that you (the pull request submitter) don't verify that the change is valid. I already got hit by this once in my very short experience with github.
