Fork a Pull request, on Github

What is the right workflow for effectively forking a Pull request?

To explain the use case: I've found a repository which contains a pull request that adds a feature I need. Unfortunately the pull request author has gone awol and the repo owner won't accept the pull request until tests are written. I'd like to "fork" the Pull request and write tests so that the repo owner will accept the new functionality.

You can fork the original project, write the unit tests, then use the "Fork Queue" feature to selectively incorporate the changes by the third party into your own repository, and finally issue a pull request to your own repository, unit tests inclusive, to the original repository.
