Extragear apps may have different names for release series branches. For
RKWard, we currently have releases/*. That said, I think the risk of
someone deleting these branches seems quite tolerable, given that there
are backup refs. No need to add protection rules for these as far as I
am concerned.

However, just to bring in yet another idea, a different approach would
be whitelisting certain branch names for deletion, e.g. devel/*
(static prefix(es) as opposed to user-name prefix as suggested by
others).

Thomas
