In case it's of any use to you guys, feel free to grab our tools for that; we follow precisely that pattern and we're just about to cut a backports-only 0.13.1 release soon: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/master/tools/backport_pr.py Min wrote this tool and from what he tells me, it has really minimized the overhead of keeping a clean backports-only branch available for release.
