MASTER_SITES=   ftp://ftp.fvwm.org/pub/fvwm/version-2/ isn't valid now.

Now on github:

https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm/releases

How is backporting done correctly in a case like this?
I assume in order to add it to base?
Or is that not possible?

Seems like a good question maybe for other base software too.
Is there already a thread talking about this?
