They could be proposed to both branches... but should only be accepted
in stable/diablo once they pass trunk, otherwise you end up duplicating
work.

Trunk belongs to $PROJECT-core: the reviewers ensure that the patch is
good enough to belong in $PROJECT code.

stable/diablo belongs to the stable maintainers group. The
stable-maintainers group ensures that the patch made it past
$PROJECT-core into trunk, and then checks if it is appropriate for
stable/diablo (not a new feature, not a disrupting bugfix). It should
*not* be reviewed by $PROJECT-core, otherwise you end up duplicating
review effort, which is clearly not what you want to do. The stable
maintainers group review must therefore come *in addition to* the
corresponding core review made for trunk.

I don't know if Gerrit can tell the difference, but -core is not
responsible for stable/diablo.
