Just wondering if force-pushing like this would be necessary for people
maintaining the stable branches? From what I gather this would probably be
a rare event (and therefore one of the masters could do it on the
maintainers behalf) but I'm not the one doing this sort of stuff on a day
to day basis.

If so, then you'd need to add Dylan Baker to the list (for 18.1), and of
course add each release maintainer as time goes on (unless they're already
a master of course).

There is then also the issue of what happens when the branch stops being
maintained (ie: going back to developer if not needed). Otherwise you might
end up with more and more masters over time that are unnecessary.

Of course, as Ilia and Daniel mentioned, this would be good to be set out
somewhere if this is the case, to avoid any confusion.
