  1. Only bugfixes should be backported to active release branches (if they happen also there).
  2. Bugfixes should be backported by the committer who did the bugfix in trunk, if possible.
  3. If the committer does not, for an a reason, backport the bugfix, he should leave the original issue open with a remark that a backport is needed and a short explanation why he does not do the backport.
  4. Issues which that need a back port backport should be labelled as "back portbackport-needed". In this way we are able to spot issues to be backported, especially before a release is on it's way. 
  5. In no case should the Jira issue be closed without doing 1. or 2.
  6. When you backport something, if you know that it should not be backported in older releases, please pass the information.
