Hi, just a reminder that maintainers are responsible for their components in the master branch, but also stable branches. In practise that means whenever a maintainer merges a bugfix, they should consider getting a backport done to the stable branches.
Either the maintainer backports the patch themselves, or discusses with the developer of the original patch to also submit a backport. When I merge patches, I try to think about the need for a backport as well. For simple and straight forward changes, I send backports immediately after hitting the [submit] button and updating the bug status. Sometimes bugs for the stable releases do not exist yet, in which case I normally clone the one from 'mainline'. If all maintainers follow a similar workflow, we should be getting pretty solid stable releases. Comments on this are most welcome. At one point this responsiblity of being a maintainer will be included in our docs too. Thanks, Niels
