As a follow-up to our previous discussion regarding branch creation permissions, we have submitted the required ACL update patch as advised:

Patch: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/952643

The patch has passed CI (Verified +1) and received Code-Review +1. It updates the ACL file to grant our release team (`heterogeneous-distributed-training-framework-release`) permission to create release branches, as documented here:

https://docs.opendev.org/opendev/infra-manual/latest/creators.html#creation-of-branches

Could someone from the infra or core team please help apply `Workflow +1` so the patch can be merged?

To do this you need to edit your Gerrit project ACL file. That file is managed at this location [0] which is currently a minimal configuration that doesn't allow for branch creation [1]. You can update that file in [0] with additional ACL content to allow branch creation [2]. Once that is proposed as a change to the project-config repo we can review and land it and you'll be able to create branches as described in the documentation [3]
