Rebasing the branch is of course the responsibility of the new committer. 
But it should be fairly easy using svnmerge.py.
How regularly he does it, is his decision.
Finally the branch has to be in sync with the trunk every time it gets merged back.

Btw. I would not force anyone to use a branch. Sending patches is still ok for me.
