Just to clarify: »Pulling« in this context means cherry-picking 
individual bug fixes critical for the release from the main 
branch. Virtually all changes and pull requests still go on the 
main branch first, and are then »backported« onto the release 
branch.

And by the way, you don't even need a DVCS for that. Many 
SVN-based open source projects use a »branch-before-release« 
workflow as well.
