And 2.6? :)

This attitude makes 2.6 useles since fixes are not ported over.

I believe my position is clear, fixes _must_ be backported otherwise 3
branches are useless.
I know it is a strong statement, but we need to find a (cooperative)
way to make this happen.
Just stating that if someone provides a fix he must also provide
backports might be too strong (although I would prefer it over
free will) hence I am open to see alternatives. On the other side,
discussing on the ML each single fix seems an overkill to me.

At the very least I believe that we shall ask people to investigate
and report on whether a fix can be backported and then encourage to do
the backport.
I would like to make the backport mandatory but it might be better to
make it recommended.

At the very least we need to make everyone responsible for:

-1- investigating if the issue impact all the active branches
-2- investigating whether a fix is possible
-3- capturing this in jira

Actual backporting can stay a volunteer based action for the time
being, I am keen in spending some of our time on doing that.
