Great, congratulations!

Put it in a branch. If it can be put into the "branch for Emacs-23.2",
that might be OK, but it can just as well go into another branch.
Another good option is to put it into a Bzr or Git branch.

This is a completely different issue. We're talking about a branch for
a particular feature. We're not talking about opening "a new trunk".
