I think no separate branch is necessary.  You can write a set of functions
that defines a "theme" with keybindings and send it to the emacs-devel
or distribute with the help of the package system, so everyone could
easily try new keybindings.

I agree.  I've been using Emacs since 1989 and I don't mind relearning
some keybindings for consistency.
