We should be extremely careful to not remove a branch which is still
being used. Think, for instance, about features branches like
`network-ng` in yast2-network. Not to mention the branches of those
people who (like me) do not use a fork to create a PR, but a branch in
the original repo.

In other cases, we could have some PoC in a separate branch which has
not been updated in a while.

We can discuss whether we should use branches in upstream repos to
create our own PRs or not (I do, but I am open to discussion).

Thinking aloud, I guess we could try to get a list of unexpected
branches and a responsible for each of them to check whether they are
still needed or not.

BTW, nice Hack Week project :)

Regards,
Imo
