Hi!

We started a discussion on Slack about what to backport to which branches, 
because I was missing some commits from 3.5 and 3.6 which I think should have 
been backported for proper maintenance.

These 2 branches are currently the active releases of Apache ZooKeeper, so I 
think it’s important to make sure all committers are on the same page in terms 
of backporting accepted patches.

Mate provided a quick list of different categories that patches usually fall 
into:
- bugfixes 
- CVEs
- test fixes
- documentation fixes
- maven fixes
- new features
- improvements

My suggestion is:

master:
- everything

branch-3.6:
- everything, except new features

branch-3.5:
- bugfixes
- CVEs
- test, doc fixes
- maven fixes if possible

branch-3.4
- CVEs (until 1st of June, 2020)

Please share your thoughts.

Andor
