Hi,

Actually, no. Merges can be made manually (without automation) through the 
Damned Lies from stable (numbered) branches to master but not otherwise.

There is a huge problem with old branches in whole GNOME. You can have the 
master branch translated but the actual package can contain some old stable 
branch (say 3.22) that you cannot see from the main team page. If you do not 
know where to find the _actual_ branch it becomes a real PITA for the users.

Best regards,
Yuri
