+1 We could create new branches such as release-0.10 as the master branch for 0.10.0, 0.10.1 .etc version release, and when fixing bugs against the master branch, the contributors/committers should also open a new PR against the release-0.10 branch if needed. That would avoid cherry-picking all bug fixes from master to release-0.10 at one time and cause so many conflicts. You would see the Spark[1] and Flink[2] community also maintaining a multi-master branch as well.
