I'm used to a system where 'master' is the "latest and greatest" version. This is more common in GNU projects, I think; anyway, it's what's used for Emacs, glibc, coreutils, etc. Of course the "maint" approach also works (it's what git uses itself), and if you prefer that mode of operation that's fine, but in a project as small as Bison pretty much anything will do, and surely it should be OK if some developers install fixes directly into 'master'.
