[Sorry for the repeated posting but I’m having problems with my email…]
The first order of business is choosing which version(s) of Gambit to branch from. It could be more than one version if various groups or individuals have different requirements. I foresee that the maintenance of these branches will be driven by these groups, so there is no reason to place a limit of 1. However, for the sake of focus, we should probably not maintain more than 2 or 3 “stable” branches in the long run and I think we should start with one branch to see how it goes.
So lets first determine which branch to start from… v4.7.0 or v4.7.2 or other?
Also how should we name the branches… I propose “v4.7.0-stable”.

Right, yes.
I don’t foresee very deep work on new patches. It is mostly picking patches from those done since that version so there has already been a decent level of scrutiny.
Good point.
Also we could have “lts” and “lts-candidate” branches so the patches can go to lts-candidate first and if the interested parties (to be determined) give their ok then the patch is applied to lts too.
I guess noone will ever be in disagreement about commits that are kept in there, so there's not any need even for that.
Anyone who uses HEAD needs to review any commits new to him obviously.
So the next step is.. action?
