Commits to trunk are CTR (Commit then review), no votes required (or rather,
only the one implied vote of the person committing it is required) but anyone
can notice a problem and veto it to have the commit reverted.

Commits to branches are RTC, requiring three votes and no vetoes before
committing.

Since only one vote is needed to commit to trunk, in general the committer who
is proposing a patch for branch commits to trunk at the same time that they
post the patch and call for votes for branch.

Of course it can go somewhat differently if you are asking for opinions or
review before you are sure that you like your own proposal, or if the patch is
submitted by a non-committer and so doesn't even have one vote yet.

But it is important to have the process such that it is difficult to
accidentally forget to commit something to trunk that has been committed to
branch. That has happened before with unfortunate results.
