First, your list seem to be quite outdated. Did you run git remote prune origin? At the moment of writing https://github.com/MariaDB/server says there're 124 branches.
I did not :-(. Bummer, that was stupid, I even wrote in the mail how removing branches remotely would not affect local clones without git fetch --prune or similar. Below is an updated lists with only branches that are still in the repo, thanks for pointing out the mistake.
Second, I strongly suggest not to remove anything without branch owner approval. Potential data loss overweights clean-up benefits.
Right, that was the intention of my mail, Cc:'ing the top committer in each branch (sorry I seem to have forgotten to Cc: you). Or do you have a better way to determine who is the branch owner of a particular branch? Of course, if a branch should somehow end up being wrongly removed, I will just re-push it from a backup I will take before deleting. But better to avoid errorneous removal in the first place.
At least the following branches may have valuable revisions:

Ok, thanks, I've removed them from the lists.
