Do you want things in the sandbox to go through review, or directly written into the repository as a remote branch? If the latter, you can push to HEAD:refs/heads/sandbox/${username} instead.

You could also use the refs/drafts/master which is a way of pushing work-in-progress that’s not ready for publication, and then subsequently convert the drafts to full when it’s ready.
