At this point mainly ask yourself:

  1. Would the change require new, or change existing, documentation or APIs?
     If so, it should go to master.
  2. If it corrects existing behavior, refines that behavior, or removes a
     stumbling block, it should go to emacs-25.

The length of time it takes to get emacs-25 fully ready should not be seen as
an opening for "features that could get ready during that time". I haven't
seen any attempts to commit such features, I just wanted to make this one
point clear.
