I would if I knew how.  admin/repo says

----

* Backporting a bug-fix from the trunk to a branch (e.g. "emacs-24").

Indicate in the commit log that there is no need to merge the commit
to the trunk, e.g. start the commit message with "Backport:".  This is
helpful for the person merging the release branch to the trunk.

* How to merge changes from emacs-24 to trunk

[The section on git merge procedure has not yet been written]

----

neither of which helps, and the Emacs for Git Devs wiki doesn't say how
to cherry-pick stuff, either.
