I agree that not every committer knows this. What has worked well for me in the past is to have _every_ commit go to master, and cherry-pick nothing until it is decided that a bugfix release is needed. Then the release manager goes through the list of commits that occurred on the master branch since the last release on the bugfix branch, select those that are required for the bugfix release, and then cherry-pick those, in order, to the bugfix branch. -Ivan
