 Hi,
 
 == Background
 I have been maintaining ruby_1_9_1 and ruby_1_9_2 branch.
 Ruby 1.9 is now stable as Ruby 1.8 was, but it has not yet reached to
 the bugless nirvana. So Ruby 1.9 needs continuous maintenance.
 
 But actually ruby_1_9_1 is no longer well-maintained. My backports to
 ruby_1_9_? tend to be late. There is a bottle-neck.
 
 The bottle-neck is review process for commits in trunk.
 A few bug is branch-specific. Most of bugs in Ruby 1.9.x reproduce
 with trunk too. So I rarely need to write a branch specific patch.
 Just backporting from trunk fixes most of bugs in Ruby 1.9.x.
 But I need to read a commit carefully and run unit tests before
 backport the commit. This review process takes really really long.
 That's why patch level releases have been late.
 
 == Proposal
 Let's parallelize the bottle-neck.
 Review and tests are necessary for stability and compatibility of
 released branches but these processes can be parallelized.
 I propose the following process:
 
 * A committer who fixed a bug in trunk should also check if the bug
   reproduces with other active branches. If reproduces, (s)he should
   create a backport request on the Redmine.
   * Or anyone who want us to backport a commit in trunk can create a
     backport request.
 * Another committer review the request. This reviewer checks if this
   commit is good enough and backport it to the older branch.
 * Any committer who thinks the backport breaks compatiblity can revert
   it.
   * Eventually the maintainer of the branch decides to revert or not.
 
 CI and a new Redmine plugin can help this process.
 * Automatic request triggered by commit message?
 
 And the branch maintainer can have time to plan the next patch-level
 release.
