There's a conundrum here:

- It's natural to develop against m-i because that's where most people
land patches.

- But you want to push to try against m-c because that's less likely
to have unrelated bustage.

I (and plenty of other people, I'm sure) have a script for pushing to
try that copies patches from my m-i clone to an m-c clone and then
pushes to try from there. Sometimes it fails because the patches don't
apply cleanly, whereupon I just push to try from the m-i clone and
cross my fingers. It's a hack, but an effective one, but it's a shame
that there isn't a simple, shared way of doing this.
