This actually turns out to be less work for custodians if there aren't any dependencies between patch series, since whenever you send a pull request right now, you do:
a) Fetch latest upstream. b) Rebase onto it. c) Send pull request.
Uh, no, you don't rebase. I've learnt that well. :)
Yes, I learn't that the hard way :)
But I suspect the Wiki page is still lagging behind.
Yes because, to some extent at least, maintainers have a certain amount of latitude in how they manage their own repository. The whole rebase against master theory came about, I think, to avoid the maintainer repositories being littered with merge commits (which I assume adds more merge commits to mainline). I personally don't have an issue with merge commits - YMMV
