having feature/username/id-desc is good though. Because at least you can identify why the branch is there. That they are ephemeral doesn't mean that people actually clean them up...

Either it has commits I care about or it doesn't. Either way, I'm not going to consult the branch name.

If it has commits I care about, then it stays. If it doesn't, It goes. I'm only deleting on the server afterall, people can just push it back.

I understand, but that means you need to review the commits and code changes and do not have the context which could be found either in the issue title, description, etc.
Exactly, people tend to leave messes. It makes it much easier to know what the branch was for and have more piece of mind when you want to delete it.
