you can definitely edit your PR description in GH.  The thing is that your
commit message and PR description are mostly unrelated.

Your PR description is initialized from the commit message of the first
patch you push.  But you can edit it via the GH UI by clicking the three
dots.

When you go to finally merge your PR, you then have another chance to edit
it (and you usually have to since it joins all commit messages together
into a single string, whereas I almost always just want the original PR
description)
