It is not ucommon for fixes to be backported to the maintenance
branches. Sometimes we roll those into a maintenance release and

You can use svn merge to merge fixes and then run tests. Then post a
patch or just the merge command to the issue if the merge was
automatic. Check the patch available checkbox and a committer will look
at the change. When merging changes to the branches you may want to
consider the stability of the branch. Typically fixes and minor
improvements are o k, but large features are not. If I merge a change
to 10.2 I typically will also merge it to 10.3 as well to allow upward
mobility without regression.
Hope that answers your question.
