Public fork MR permission clarification

What does this MR do?

This is a documentation update relating to permissions for creating, editing, and closing MRs. When a project is public, anyone can create a fork of that project, and then create an MR in that project requesting that the fork be merged. The user who creates the MR does not need any membership in that project. They can create, update, or close the MR.

This is a core GitLab feature - everyone can contribute! - but it seems our permissions docs don't reflect this. You don't need to be a Developer+ to open an MR in a public project.

Author's checklist

• Consider taking the GitLab Technical Writing Fundamentals course.
• Follow the:
  • Documentation process.
  • Documentation guidelines.
  • Style Guide.
• Ensure that the product tier badge is added to topic's h1.
• Request a review based on:
  • The documentation page's metadata.
  • The associated Technical Writer.

If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

• ~"frontend"
• ~"backend"
• ~"type::bug"
• ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

• If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
• Technical writer review items:
  • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
  • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
  • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
    • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
    • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
    • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
    • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
• Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
• Ensure a release milestone is set.
