Yup. In that case, you need to do two merges with different merge
strategies. That's what admin/gitmerge.el is for, and I think it's
pretty easy to use (but I'm biased).

For sure.
I agree that doing cherry-picks from 'master' to 'emacs-28' would be
easier for people, simply because they are familiar with it, but keeping
track of what has been cherry-picked and what not can be pretty tedious,
and git cannot help you much with that.
