Does this mean I have to prefix feature branches which I want to be
able to delete later with my commit name? I would find this rather
inconvenient. As commiter I'm creating feature branches also for
contributors so that they have a place where they can push commits to
gerrit in a branch which is later merged to the main development. As it
is not me I'm working on the branch I would not like to see my name
there.

How are other projects handling this?

Thanks,
Alois
