Hello,
What I would personally do is to just fork the repository and then deploy your own fork, that way you would not need to have write access to the upstream repository.

Hello there,
I believe that you can achieve this but you’ll also need to transfer the repository to another owner afterwards. Repositories owned by user accounts have one owner. Ownership permissions can’t be shared with another user account.
https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-user-account/managing-user-account-settings/permission-levels-for-a-user-account-repository
You can also check Github’s docs for transferring a repo to another account:
