There are 22 trees that get merged into in linux-next that are "bug fixes for the current release" trees ... that was the list I sent you after the -rc7 announcement (most of which I think you have since merged. In fact, there are currently only 5 commits in those 22 trees that you have not merged.
The other thing people do is to add such bug fixes to their -next trees before asking you to take them.
