maint is best in that case, no need for master.

As an FYI, anything that gets patched on maint will always make it
into master, as all changes there are merged "up" into master. This
one will be a bit funny as I know there will likely be a conflict with
the signing stuff, but I have no problem resolving that when I do the
merge.
