What is the purpose of maint exactly? In Emacs git repository there's
master and emacs24. All commits apply to master first, while some are
cherry picked onto emacs24. The emacs24 branch will never be merged into
master: it's divergent and that's fine.

As I understood, for Org mode some commits are applied to maint, and
then merged into master. Why?
