I already fixed that issue:
Committers are allowed to create feature/* branches

as for tag and other branches that is reserved to 'Steward' (you are
in that group).
We can certainly create a group for distro-maintainer to allow them to
tag... but I don't think it is necessary to make that a generic
ability.
