Hi @davidhassell as in many things git-related, I don't feel that this is a 
best practice - it's more of a preference. I prefer a repository that feels 
tidy, and as branches are identifiers just like tags or commit IDs, having 
fewer of them makes for a more pristine autocomplete.

Under "Maintainer" I understand somebody who can perform a merge on the 
canonical repository - so probably the IM team in our case. My interpretation 
would be that if the source branch is on another repository, which will more 
often be the case, the proposer would do as they like with their branches.
