does boost follows the git-flow schema,
Yes...
e.g. merging the changes from branch develop into master is not required by the library developer (this is done by the release manager)?!
No, merging from submodule:develop to submodule:master is done by the library developer. Every such merge, per git-flow, is considered a stable library (submodule) release (not a Boost release). Boost releases and superproject merges are done by the release managers based on the submodule master branches. If a submodule never merges to master, the changes to it will never appear in a Boost release (as was the case in the old SVN days).
