Branch creation is allowed by granting a particular Gerrit group
Create Reference permission on the refs/* reference pattern. Since
this is an extremely broad permission which can also override a lot
of other stricter permissions in your ACL, it should be limited to
as small a group as possible (likely those who are also responsible
for tagging releases). For example:

<URL: https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/config/tree/modules/openstack_project/files/gerrit/acls/openstack-dev/hacking.config#n2 >

Branch deletion is another matter entirely--that requires the Owner
permission in Gerrit, which grants a lot of other privileges
including the ability to override some basic operations we need to
keep administrator control over. As a result, if there are branches
you need deleted, please contact us either on this list, in IRC
(#openstack-infra on Freenode) or with a Launchpad bug (project name
openstack-ci).
