Regardless, following point 2, mandate that all Git pull requests are made

New pull requests are by default created against "master" branch. So if
5.x development would happen in "master" and 4.x in e.g. "legacy-4.0"
then no changes is needed.
But on github it is not possible to disallow users to create new pull
requests for non-default branch. When creating pull request there is a
button which open dialog to change target branch.
When I said "mandate" I meant as a matter of project policy, not on what GitHub
enforces. Strictly speaking there are times where a pull request against the
legacy branch is appropriate. -- Darren Duncan
