I'm generally OK with allowing force pushes for branches other than
master.  However, I don't know what the best policy here is, i.e.
whether we should allow anyone to force push everywhere, or say only
$USER to branches starting with $USER.  ng0/Florian: you two usually
have strong opinions on these kinds of matters, please just propose,
implement and document (in onboarding manual) some sane policy here.
