The icing on the cake would now be that

    git branch --merged origin/main --forked origin/*

provides the list of branches forked from origin that have already been
integrated.

Yup, that is very nice.  Also with "--merged" replaced with
"--not-merged", i.e., "our work building on top of origin's, and
still need to be finished", would give us a good list to work on.

This is nice, but I think this would require an overhaul of other
infra as well, maybe better to do as a follow-up?

This can certainly be done as an extension in a follow-up patch. But the
UI must still be planned accordingly, i.e., --forked can only take a
single argument. For example, in

    git branch --forked foo bar

'bar' is the pattern of branches to show. The "list" is filtered
according to '--forked foo'. That is, if 'bar' was not forked from
'foo', the output is empty.

You would have to require

    git branch --forked foo --forked bar

to list all branches forked from 'foo' or 'bar'.

In the first implementation, you can restrict uses of other options with
--forked or even with a branch pattern. But you cannot be loose by
accepting multiple branch patterns with one --forked option, because
that would later clash with --list mode.
