Merge stable to master vs cherry-picking

[Kai Uwe Broulik]

Hi everyone,

as part of the GitLab transition in Plasma we changed our commit 
strategy from committing to stable and merging to master to committing 
to master and cherry-picking to stable. Reason being that it's a lot 
more convenient to do from GitLab's UI. I can merge and cherry-pick all 
from the web UI.

However, other projects, such as most of KDE Gear, continues using 
merging, which makes the experience inconsistent and tedious. Fully 
retargeting a branch doesn't seem possible from the UI and not sure if 
you can merge up there either.

What's keeping us from changing the strategy for the rest of KDE, too?

Cheers
Kai Uwe
