For what it's worth, what Paul describes is essentially the process we use
in IPython. All pull requests target master, and critical fixes are
backported if we decide we're going to do another maintenance release. This
is easier for contributors, because all pull requests work the same way,
but I think it does take some time for someone to go through the issues
tagged for backporting and cherry-pick the commits. Min tackled that for
our recent maintenance releases.

We use pull request testing to keep master reasonably stable, although we
don't make any promises about it.

Best wishes,
Thomas
