Honestly, yes. As core maintainers we should be willing to do as we ask.
I don't ask for people to use branches, because it's a bloody nuisance. Once all patches have gone onto a branch, reproducing a series of
logically contained patches that are small enough to be acceptable to
the GDB Gods is an additional week or month of work. I prefer when
possible to do work in increments, on mainline.
Having been asked twice to use a branch I'll investigate it. Not for these patches, however, which are designed to be non-behavior-changing cleanups.
