>From what you say, it sounds like you are using topic branches, which
are always a good way to manage code. You might want to consider using
release branches (like how git.git has "master", "next", and "maint").

I'm not sure what you mean by "push to master". You don't push to a
branch. You push to a repository. I guess you mean pushing to the
"official" or "blessed" repository?

Also, sending patches to an email before merging to master is a
good idea to get code review.
