Yep.  The full process would be:
- make a github fork of Tom's repository.
- make a local clone of the gnuradio.org master branch.
- delete all the existing branches in the github fork.
- push the master branch to the github fork.

It's silly that the process is so convoluted, but, as far as I know,
there is no process to tell github that two repositories are in the
same network other than if they have a common fork-ancestor.
