What's missing right now is how will we declare a Backport format.
Can we just use something like: 'Backport from

No. What we should allow is that people just git cherry-pick r11-1234-g123456
into a release branch and push it (of course after testing),
so we don't want the user to change the commit log in that case.
How does one handle partial backports? I mean those where
only half of the original patch applies easily to the old
branch and the other half is simply ignored? This happened
a couple of times to me, especially when applying a patch
to the last but one release branch.
