I think as long you have write access you are free to create branches
inside your name (nickname/...). I would just recommend you to clean
up regularly old non active branches. For other namespace branch you
will need to check out this [1].
You can get write access by following the steps described at 'Becoming
a maintainer (developer)' [2].
