I think that this is a great idea. Backporting bugfixes to the stable
branch is IMHO the way to go.

As I see it, the biggest problem we have today is keeping up with all
the targets and being able to do proper (regression) testing. Most of us
only have a few targets, and are rarely using more than one target on a
daily basis.

I think the best solution would be to have one maintainer for each
target, who can test each release on his target before every release.
