+1 for propagate_mask. That is the only proposal that immediately makes
sense to me. "contagious" may be cute but I think approximately 0% of
users would guess its purpose on first use.
Can you elaborate on what happens with the masks exactly? I didn't quite
get why propagate_mask=False was unintuitive. My expectation is that any
mask present in the input will not be set in the output, but the mask
will be "respected" by the function.
Here's an illustration of how the PR currently works with convolve,
using the name "propagate_mask":
>>> m = np.ma.masked
>>> a = np.ma.array([1,1,1,m,1,1,1,m,m,m,1,1,1])
>>> b = np.ma.array([1,1,1])
>>>
>>> print np.ma.convolve(a, b, propagate_mask=True)
[1 2 3 -- -- -- 3 -- -- -- -- -- 3 2 1]
>>> print np.ma.convolve(a, b, propagate_mask=False)
[1 2 3 2 2 2 3 2 1 -- 1 2 3 2 1]

I think the possibilities that have been mentioned so far (here or in
the PR) are:
contagious
contagious_mask
propagate
propagate_mask
propagated
`propogate_mask=False` seemed to imply that the mask would never be set,
so Eric also suggested
propagate_mask='any' or propagate_mask='all'
I would be happy with 'propagated=False' as the name/default. As Eric
pointed out, most MaskedArray functions like sum implicitly don't
propagate, currently, so maybe we should do likewise here.
