For some numbers on the cherry picking: I'm currently seeing 111 dups in
drm (we also have 6 more in subtrees), out of 1739 total non-merge
commits.  That's about 6% which seems like a lot, and they generate
almost all of the frequent conflicts that DRM generates.  Next on the
list is nfc with 17/35 which is a much larger percentage, and all of the
8 commits in the hyperv-fixes tree are duplicates.

Sometimes trees show up in those numbers transiently due to sending
their patches upstream as email rather than a pull request, that doesn't
seem to be what's going on in the above cases from a quick check.
