I want to do this generically for a bunch of different upstream projects, so not a project-specific solution.

Easier upstreaming / back-porting of patch series with git – Structured Procrastination

Have you ever needed to port a selection of commits from one git branch to another, but without doing a full merge? This is a common challenge, e.g. forward-porting / upstreaming bugfixes from a stable release branch to a development branch, or back-porting features from a development branch to a stable release branch.
