There's a couple of simple cases:

  . Obvious bugs that should be backported. Where possible, the original
committer should apply this.

  . Obvious new features that introduce new behaviour. This is something 
that shouldn't be applied automatically, but _if_ the feature is something
that should be considered for the stable release then that should be 
flagged in the comment, but not applied to the branch straight away.
