This may be a factor of how you have set up your local copy of your
staging repo.  Easiest is to update your .git/config to set your
remote.NAME.url to be the readonly public name, and
remote.NAME.pushurl to be your personal one that you can push to.

This can also be done with repo URL shortening; for example, in my
~/.gitconfig, I have:

[url "https://repo.or.cz/";]
        insteadof = repo:
[url "ericb@repo.or.cz:/srv/git/"]
        pushinsteadof = repo:

and then in my qemu staging checkout, I have:

[remote "repo"]
        url = repo:qemu/ericb.git

where the repo: prefix takes care of letting me push pull requests
then producing a sane string in 'git request-pull' I use to announce
it. 'git remote show repo' lets me check that my nicknames properly
expanded into the actual URLs needed.

(Another benefit of having url different from pushurl is that you no
longer have to spend time authenticating when merely downloading from
the repo, although that matters more if you are using that repo to
synchronize changes across multiple machines, and less if you are
using it only for preparing pull requests for others to download)
