Can I make a pull request on some else's gist on GitHub?

I'm aware of the fork, clone and commit workflow for a gist I own. I'd like to know if I can request to update someone else's gist with my fork.

You cannot currently open a pull request on a Gist.

You can comment though on the Gist and ask the author to update the Gist from your fork.
