Re: Git ticket / issue tracking ERA: Git shouldn't allow to push a new branch called HEAD

Let me explain my idea with an example:

An issue is discussed, a bug is acknowledged and a proposed solution is
discussed, this all happen in the mailing list, like it always has.

Someone in the "git management" (the one that usually choose how git
should evolve) open a ticket, copy the relevant part of the mailing list
(or link to the discussion in the archive) and (optionally) place the
bug / feature / enhancement into a roadmap / milestone

This step I wouldn't buy, if you count me as part of "management".

But I suspect that curation of issues, prodding parties involved and
closing inactive/stale ones can be done by volunteer project secretaries
without requiring an authority to choose how git should evolve.
