I don't know of any good answer either.

Maybe the best option is to make the upstream repository "track" the
Emacs repository; any change made in Emacs can be trivially merged back
into upstream.

Then every once in a while, someone syncs up the upstream with the Emacs
code (mainly overwriting the Emacs code with the upstream code, but
being careful to avoid race conditions where someone commits to the
Emacs repository between the last merge and the actual overwrite).
