Stale branches in the canonical repository

[Jonas Hahnfeld]

Hi all,

there are currently 38 branches (out of 72 in total) in the canonical
repository that have a committed date older than 90 days, excluding the
stable/* branches. I suppose many of these were temporary, abandoned in
the mean time or simply don't apply anymore. IMHO this might become
problematic over time as we accumulate branches because important ones
will be harder to find.
For that reason, I'd like to ask everyone to go through the list below
and delete your branches that you don't need anymore, from both GitLab
and Savannah (or let me know and I can do it). Also please remember to
delete branches of closed merge requests to avoid this problem in the
future. Or open MRs from your private fork in which case I don't care
how many branches you have 😉 (I use this all the time and there's no
disadvantage, you even benefit from the fast CI if you're a Developer
in the project.)

I'm aware that some persons listed below are probably not following
this list anymore. I might ping those individuals with a large quantity
of branches. We might need a policy for dealing with branches where the
owner doesn't respond, but let's save this discussion for later.

Regards
Jonas
