For getting push rights you'll need to wait for the team owners'
approval.  I don't think I have permission to add new members to the
team but I do have commit rights to handle merge requests, which is why
I asked.

I think workflow-wise you can also send merge requests for different
branches, right?  That can then be handled by MRs, or I can cherrypick
your MRs locally, check, and commit which should also work fine.  IIRC
the only tricky parts are tags which is not directly supported by MRs,
which I can coordinate manually with you on this.
