we talked about changing the merging policy in Denver. ie. we would merge bug 
fixes to master and then merge it down ro previous releases. i dont remember 
the pros and cons we listes back then. but it might become more necessary to 
enable delegation of responsibility.

The big issue with this workflow is that it forces to use cherry-pick for older branches instead of merging them together. So changes are applied in the maintenance branch but with a different commit hash. This is what Doctrine does and it makes it impossible to ask git which commits have been backported (a diff will show the commits being new in master even if they have a cherry-picked version). It requires doing the history diff by hand each time.
