Hi Matthias,
Whatever works for the majority I'm fine with whether its pull requests, branches with independent managers or a different work flow entirely, ultimately I suppose that decision rests with Marc.
In terms of release management perhaps it would be possible to adapt the current process that Marc has? I think it would be great to integrate LTS branches into the CI process as well.
Cheers,
James

Hi James,
I'd be happy to volunteer to help out for the more recent LTS branch, I just wont be able to find the time to help with a 4.7.x.
Great!
I'm guessing Marc wouldn't want a whole load of random users having the ability to make a mess in HEAD but I believe github has the ability to restrict user access to particular branches so that might be one option to investigate?
It does, see https://help.github.com/articles/about-branch-restrictions/. However, I would not be opposed to work with pull requests from a forked repository that Marc would merge into the official LTS branch.
In terms of management would it work to just have a couple of branches in the primary git repo?
One master branch and two LTS branches should do? We'll need to figure out how to build LTS releases from them though.
Cheers Matthias
