Pure fixes should probably be applied on top of maint and then merged into master (not cherry-picked from master to maint, this would create duplicate history). On occasion this might produce a merge conflict, but these instances should be rare. That way maint would be a stable, but still regularly bugfixed branch without having all the excitement of living on master and having old features pulled from under you while the new features aren't quite there yet. If any larger bugs crop up, you can always tag a sub-release on maint and create a package for anyone not using git.
