I guess we should either: a. Ask submitters to submit to the stable/essex branch in our +2 reviews b. Somebody from core should submit accepted master submissions to stable/essex, setting the original submitter as the author.
I put some docs up on how to do cherry picking here: http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/HowTo#How_to_a_cherry-pick_a_change_to_a_stable_branch We could also ask the CI guys to set up a Jenkins job that will run, say, one week after a branch lands in master, and checks to see if there's a corresponding cherry-pick in stable/essex, it sends out an email to openstack-doc-core saying "this patch was never backported". Not sure how willing they are to do that, or how much effort it would take.
