Is it worth reintroducing sparse-next where more 'in-progress' changes are done? This will allow 'master' to be only for bug fixes or emergency fixes. I would also suggest having a way of tracking change / bug fix requests. Perhaps a Github mirror repository can be used just for this - i.e. use the issue tracker to help users raise bugs, and also allow users to vote on fixes or changes. I have seen some other projects doing this - i.e. the code in Github is simply a mirror, but issue tracker is used as a way of managing changes.
