As a point of information, that's pretty much github's editing of
markdown files, though generally you need to
1.5) Create your own fork.

When saving you have the options:
Commit directly to the master branch
Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request. (Learn
more about pull requests.)

I've just tried on a local gitlab install and it similarly offers to
create merge requests if editing a fork (but it doesn't have github's
wysiwyg markdown editing, just raw text, maybe there's a plugin).
