I think that this patch can be uploaded to the 10.2 branch too.

It is possible to apply patches from one branch to another, e.g. from 10.2 to 
10.3. CVS allowed to do this automatically, but it depended on branches to 
have not too much diverted. SVN will likely have such an option too.
Alternatively, you can apply it manually:
1. make the diff with: 
   svn diff -rsomething-something SomeFile.java > myPatch.txt
2. patch the other branch:
   cd intoBranch; patch < myPath.txt

(in pseudo code :)

No.

Maintaining branches does come with serious overhead. So let's not commit new 
features to 10.2, only bug fixes, and hope those will be few.

I guess it would also be a good idea to set a date when we want to release the 
next stable release: 10.4, in, say, 6 months or so, with a feature freeze 
after five months. Then new features will be out in the (new) stable soon 
enough, and we (as developers) know when to stop adding cool but yet untested 
code clearly in advance.
