Makes sense. Is there a guide for how we can create our release branches (a la the 'feature/r1' branch for 'openstacksdk')? I assume infra need to be involved and we can't do this via a patch somewhere?
Yes, you can adjust the Gerrit ACL for that project in order to grant branch creation (or deletion) privileges to any specific group:
https://docs.opendev.org/opendev/infra-manual/latest/drivers.html
Also, for OpenStack projects specifically, their ACLs all inherit from a general ACL which grants those permissions to the Release Managers:
