Right, we rarely backport changes to support a new platform in stable
branch. Example of exception: we backported changes to support OpenSSL
1.1.x, but it's not exactly a "platform" :-)

Nobody is available 24x7 :-)

Don't worry, we will bug you as soon as it turns red again by email
and you can reply whenever you want or ignore such bug :-)

We don't have such granularity yet. Again, we will simply notify you
explicitly, ex: on bug reports.

I don't understand which change you are proposing. Maybe open a bug report.
