No, stable/2.18 is my turf.  You just go through the standard process in
relation to master.  If you don't want to actually push to master, you
can send me a git format-patch version against master (or stable/2.18 if
you want to rebase there yourself) and I'll take it from there.

If that's too complex, just stay relative to master and push to staging.
Once it went through cleanly, I'll cherry-pick from master into
stable/2.18 (fixing the merge conflict) and revert in staging
afterwards.

2.18-only changes are a bit of a nuisance to deal with, but fortunately
there are not all that many of them.
