I didn't know that GitLab doesn't allow that! We use BitBucket and there it's extremely easy to put branch restrictions so that only certain Usergroups are allowed to merge into the release-branches
Bitbucket also doesn't enforce these rules properly. You can simply change the rules, merge, then change back.
The only way around that is to restrict every developer account into oblivion and only have an ops guy as repo admin, but I think most ops teams have better things to do.
Why should a developer be a Repo admin? Thats DevOps territory
That very much depends on your workflow and team setup. Repo admin for me means "can alter who and how branches can be merged". That's usually a job for lead devs.
Aah, DevOps as a separate role... Now that's a dream I can get behind...
