Note that we agreed to follow the Eclipse project's guidelines for target
milestones for maintenance branches.  I also created the following
milestones for the maintenance branches in Equinox:

3.3.2+  -> For fixes released into the R3_3_maintenance branch *after* the
3.3.2 release
3.4.2+  -> For fixes released into the R3_4_maintenance branch *after* the
3.4.2 release
3.5.2+  -> For fixes released into the R3_5_maintenance branch *after* the
3.5.2 release (nobody should be using this yet)

Also, I created a simple wiki page describing how the Eclipse top-level
project uses bugzilla, and added a description of these target milestones
to that page. Thanks to WTP from whom I cribbed much of this wiki content.
Feel free to expand on the information available on this page:

As discussed in this week's architecture call, The Eclipse PMC would like a
public way to track what bug fixes are released into older maintenance
branches (R3_4_maintenance and earlier).  Committers will sometimes release
fixes for severe defects into these older development branches for support
purposes, but we currently have no way other than comparing CVS branches to
see what fixes have been released. To support this goal, I have created the
following new bugzilla target milestones for Platform/JDT/PDE:

3.3.2+  -> For fixes released into the R3_3_maintenance branch *after* the
3.3.2 release
3.4.2+  -> For fixes released into the R3_4_maintenance branch *after* the
3.4.2 release
3.5.2+  -> For fixes released into the R3_5_maintenance branch *after* the
3.5.2 release (nobody should be using this yet)

Please use these target milestones from now on for bug fixes that are
released into these older maintenance streams. This will allow everyone in
the community who may be interested in viewing/consuming these fixes to
find them.
