Hi, Now that 2.83 is out, it is good to clarify what kind of fixes gets ported, how to handle regressions, and how to handle reports.
Currently, for non-LTS releases, Blender only has a corrective release if severity 1 issues (high priority bugs) are found. When the corrective release is agreed on, however, severity 2 (high priority and normal bugs) fixes are ported along. For the LTS releases, a more limited policy would apply (only porting severity 1 issues after the next stable release), on a fixed schedule after the fix was tested in master for some time. [1] Bugs reported in an LTS version are treated as any other bug, and if already fixed in master are considered closed. [2] The LTS pilot is meant to run in parallel to regular development for upcoming releases. After committing a fix, the LTS team will take care of porting it (or not) to the LTS branch. The current point of contact for LTS maintenance and development is Jeroen Bakker (@atmind) on blender.chat.
