The branch looks fine, it was just the pull request that contained old
stale commits that you had already sent me.

Oh, you shouldn't rebase. But it also sounds like you are actually
tracking the bases for your branches manually. You shouldn't do that
either.
All you need to do is fetch from upstream, so that git sees what I
have, and then when you do the pull request, you tell it not the base
of the branch, but just what upstream has. git will then figure out
the base from that.
