Yes, that is very nice, but it doesn't help if I am not a maintainer of the upstream project.

Since I haven't used it, I'm not sure, but it seems like it would also help avoid the case of "Can you squash this before I accept it?" leading to pointless delays and extra work.

Sorry, I thought you were speaking as a maintainer. You mean reviewing someone else's PR on a project you're not a maintainer of? Yeah that's "send a PR to their branch" right now.

That's https://github.com/blog/2243-rebase-and-merge-pull-requests; lets you choose squash and/or rebase as you merge.
