Personally, I don't think we need separate pull requests for each branch
yet (master and 1.x have not diverged enough to cause conflicts), as it kind of
confuses things in terms of +1s and comments. It might be easier to add a note
requesting that it also be applied to another branch, e.g. "I would also like
to see this applied to the X branch."
If for some reason the patch couldn't be applied to the other branch(es),
the committer doing the merge could either resolve the conflicts or request an
additional pull request against the conflicted branch.
Thoughts?
