For those who might not be aware, this feature of letting the person reviewing 
the MR have permissions to edit it is an optional feature (opt-out) presented 
to a person who has forked a repository and then created an MR.  The text they 
see when creating the MR is:

"Allow commits from members who can merge to the target branch.”

It is checked by default and links to this explanation:

https://salsa.debian.org/help/user/project/merge_requests/
allow_collaboration.md

Therefore, if they have not unchecked this box when creating the MR, those 
reviewing the MR may consider this as permission to push changes to their MR.
