I understand that, but if the maintainers were the ones preparing the 
branch to be pulled, the assumption is that there will be much less 
patches dropped, so quilt will be unnecessary.

What is so special about -stable that the same model Linus is using can't 
be applied in case responsible sub-maintainers prepare branches for you to 
pull?
