The usual way to deal with this is to have one person who does the merges ("the Merge Master"), who needs to have a good overview of development and the used VCS and hence simply knows what to do. The point of gitmerge.el is that pretty much anyone should be able to do the merge.
For what it's worth, I've done git merges for Emacs both with gitmerge.el and without, and although gitmerge.el is nicer it's not clear that it's worth the trouble. That is, it should be OK to use gitmerge.el to merge, and it should also be OK to not use it. Either way, you need to know what you're doing.
