Abandoned and even used personal branches cause overhead for everyone
who works on that repo or a fork of it.
They are personal branches.. so they should be in personal forks..
Also note.. that using a personal fork is the only way to guarantee that
the branch is under your control. If you use the main repo nothing stops
other committers to push changes into the branches.. or even delete them.

Well, it's not like abandoned branches cost anything significant, but
as someone else suggested if there's no activity after N months and
there are no open PRs on the branch, then delete them. No biggie.

Howdy,
This is all nice and dandy with you explaining how things are done in
companies, but this is NOT one of them, this is an open source
project.
Somewhere in the future, when you are gone from the project, NOBODY
will know what these branches are for (unless they do some archaeology
exploration, that again, is time consuming, on a project with already
scarce resources). There is no "management" who will instruct new
members "clean up Elliotte branches, please", there is nobody who
"tracks the work progress" or "manages" this project. We are all pawns
on the table.
Thanks

Howdy,
And I guess fixing the mailing list will also take care of all your
branches in canonical repo, if a bus hits you tomorrow...

This is just utterly silly: I am NOT interested at all in your branches:
I don't expect you to be. Ignore them. The problem is not that the
branches exist. It is that the mailing list is bothering you with
them. Fix the mailing list.
