Hello, are bugs discovered on the trunk also fixed on the latest maintenance branch by default or only if someone asks for it? Different projects handle this differently.
I personally prefer to apply fixes to the maintenance branch, then port them forward to the trunk automatically. In my experience that reduces the risk of "forgetting" fixes. But there are valid arguments for both positions; I just want to know where Evolution stands, not start a discussion. I (incorrectly?) assumed that for Evolution patches would be manually applied to all affected and maintained branches, but at least in one case that I just ran into ([1], [2]) this wasn't done. Because I didn't check the code on the trunk I needlessly ended up fixing the memory leak on the 2.22.x branch again.
