But you don't need much infrastructure for branch fixing. Fix it in repository, and write bug number (you have to have centralized bugtracker for numbers) or bug identifier in commit message. You write (or post-commit hook writes) in bugtracker that bug was fixed in commit <commit-id>. You tell mainline to pull from you. That's all.
