I'm not sure merging if once a week is really needed, but if someone
volunteers to do it, I certainly don't object :-)

Whenever a conflict occurs, merging ASAP is indeed the right thing to
do, I think.

I think anyone can do it, provided that no merge conflicts occur or it
is obvious how to resolve the conflicts. Usually, resolving conflicts
by using 'git merge -Xours' to prefer the master version of a piece of
code is probably the right way to go, but if the stable branch has a
bug fix that is not in master yet but cannot be merged either, one
should ask the person who has worked on the code for advice.

Best regards,
