Topic: Branch creation restriction on the wasmtime repo

While I'm in the spirit of frobbing settings for the wasmtime repo, I've now setup a new "ruleset" which, in theory, restricts new branches to either being release-* or ci/* as that's what our automation uses. Ideally I'd like to weed out the maintainer-created branches on the repo since those should belong on forks. If anyone sees any issues let me know.

Also, if you have a branch or such you know you're not using on the main wasmtime repo, feel free to delete it.

I should also say if folks disagree with this I'm happy to turn it back off

I just sort of assumed that pushing to the repo was muscle-memory from other projects

I would love to stop having a billion random branch names autocomplete in magit, so big +1 to clamping this down
