You did nothing wrong. If at all, there is a bug in git.

The *only* curious thing after your cherry-pick is this:

> #	added by us:        contrib/isf-qt

because contrib/isf-qt is not touched by the commit that you are
cherry-picking.

contrib/isf-qt is a submodule on branch kmess-2.0.x, but it is a regular
directory on master. I don't think that git should report it as a conflict.

To go ahead, simply resolve the conflicts in ChangeLog and
notificationmanager.h, and make sure that you do not have staged any
changes to contrib/isf-qt before you commit.
