I agree this would be more direct. But I fail to see how Walter

Well, if things go well, there is a system that could make things
much simpler. But my thought would that Walter wouldn't need to
touch the stable branch. The only benefit for the new org is a
separate set of contributes and separate pull requests.
If this system takes off, while still having a cost to Walter,
there would be a stable branch which get all the bug fixes and
the new feature branch. When adding a bug fix just merge the
stable branch into the feature branch. This won't always be a
clean merge.
Good luck Adam.
