I don't understand this, can you give an example of what absolute paths make
harder?
Looking at the wiki pages and scripts we need to make relative paths work for
everyone, I think it's clear that absolute paths would be better because CI
wouldn't need any scripts anymore and users would need no instructions to make
cloning forks work.

Perhaps; I mentioned this possibility in my earlier response. It's not clear which trade-off is better overall, however.
When we all had branches on ghc/ghc this was not an issue.
As I mention in the documentation, those with commits bits should feel free to push branches to ghc/ghc.
