Hey, I have a question about backporting fixes to 8.11. As I understand there are no new features being developed for 8.x but certain bug fixes are being backported. At least I see a bunch of them done by Kevin Risden ([1]). My question is: how does it work? How are the changes selected and applied? The technical aspect is also interesting as Solr 8.x has a different project structure. Are these changes applied manually?
Would you folks agree on backporting https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13219 there? If it needs to be done manually I can do it (I can prepare a new GitHub MR). The reason I'm interested in backporting it to 8.x is that we have an issue with upgrading to Solr 9 (descried by my colleague in this thread [2]) and we would like to avoid maintaining custom fork of 8.x ourselves.
