Hi all

ubitux pushed me into thinking about $subj, so heres some suggestions

Commits which are security relevant must be backported
Other (important) bugfixes can be backported as well, if someone wants
to do the work.
Authors/Maintainers/Release maintainers should backport these commits
OR should add a "Backport-to:" Keyword with a list of releases to
which backporting is needed
(theres no need to add that keyword if one intends to do the backport
 by oneself)
Examples:
Backport-to: 2.5, 2.4
Backport-to: 2.5-2.4
Backport-to: *-2.4
Backport-to: *

Listing the versions makes it simpler to thouse who do the actual
backport.

When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and
there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up
some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. -- Plato
