<p>A temporary branch is also used in the rare case that a change should
be made to the A.B.x branch that isn't a backport of a change from trunk.</p>
+<p>If you nominate an entry that causes merge conflicts until another
+nomination is merged, note that in the nomination. Put a "Depends:" header
+in the entry; that will keep the hourly "detect nominations with merge
+conflict" buildbot job green. (The value of the "Depends:" header is not
+parsed.)</p>
+
+<p>The tools/dist/nominate.pl script (in trunk) automates the process of adding
+a new nomination. The same script also has a REPL loop that helps with the
+process of reviewing nominations and casting votes; see
+tools/dist/README.backport (in trunk).</p>

<p>NOTE: Changes to <tt>STATUS</tt> regarding the temporary branch, including
voting, are always kept on the main release branch.</p>
