My thinking is that we don't use origin/next or origin/maint either

While origin/master is common,
origin/master isn't "common", it's the friggin default. Every single
git repo I interact with has development happening on origin/master.
It's way more than just "common".
for our use, 'git push origin devel' (or
rawhide) makes more sense as it matches the use for other branches,
git push origin F-12. There's nothing magical or required about using
master as the main branch.
If our maintainer has to type that out, i think we've failed the
conversion. The thought here is that you'd be doing "git push" and
stuff will just happen right. But /if/ you wanted to do things manually
then it should match just about every other git repo out there, where
the main branch is origin/master
Whether other users will be more confused by the incongruity of master
versus devel or that it differs from what they think git may require,
I don't know.
Yep, it's an opinion thing :/
