you click the edit button at the top of a pull request on GitHub, you 
now get a drop down to change the base branch to which the request will 
be pulled. Really handy for PRs that should be targeted at a stable 
branch, but instead target master.

I think I have sent 3 or 4 support request to GitHub asking about it and
finally it arrives! :) Makes even bigger difference if one has to
maintain multiple version branches as opposed to plain stable/master.

This should be really nice to have for Deimos. Back when I had submitted 
something to Deimos, the way the whole project is set up, I found the 
whole process to be borderline unworkable - purely because GitHub 
provided no way to target any branch other than master.
