I have never seen things like these MFC-ed before...
Should we be really doing them?

Yes, imho.  And the reasons may seem odd to sum, but here is my spin on this:
...
Maybe we should even add to the end of the commiters "these are the
things you should do as a new committer" the merging of your info
into to all supported/active releases.  Which is a good opportunity
for teaching how to do svn sparse checkouts as you really do not
want to pull all of stable/10 out just to commit to 1 file.

Actually, it is necessary to check out everything to MFC to 1 file.
Sparse checkouts only work for committing to head.  They break mergeinfo
for MFCs.  Or so I was told when I MFCed with a sparse checkout.  This is
my excuse for not MFC'ing anything.
