No. Random commiter is some one who does not know that the two
branches have to be kept in synchronization. In other words someone else
than the maintainer. E.g. If there is a guideline change or a SONAME
bump then somebody touches your package.
While not perfect, this would be an ideal use of the README file in the master branch. This could specify things like, where to report bugs, if a proven packager should try to contact the customary maintainer in advance, if possible, how branches are maintained, etc.
