I am a fan of getting things into the > `maint` branch early, so I like what I am reading here. Merging early, often, and in small batches will in theory make the process safer by giving us more chance to see things unexpectedly break, and that is why I too prefer it, but that is only true if enough people are paying attention to the branch. I however have a feeling that nobody uses 'maint' UNTIL the tip of it is tagged, though..
