Umm...
1) #master is definitely bad for base; #for-linus is much safer (and
sufficient for your case)
2) I'm a couple of fix folds away from opening #no-rebase (and yes,
it'll be a superset of #for-linus)

FWIW, I'd suggest a rebase on top of signal.git#for-linus. Noting in
the stem is visibly relevant in your case, AFAICS...
