My gut feeling is that everything on master is relevant to Emacs 25.2, and therefore we should probably start a new branch, called emacs-25.2 or some such, forking it off master. Trying to go through the changes deciding which ones are worthy of cherry-picking is IMO a waster of our time, as no AFAIR major features were pushed to master that would be inappropriate for 25.2. Alternatively, we could decide that 25.2 will be a bugfix only release, in which case none of the changes on master should be in it, only bugs that will be reported hence about the released version. My $0.20, anyway.
