branches (for example, the "hammer" or "infernalis" branches), then you
should file a Redmine ticket describing your issue and fill out the
"Backport: <branchname>" form field. This will notify other developers that
your commit should be cherry-picked to these stable branches. For example,
you should set "Backport: hammer" in your Redmine ticket to indicate that
you are fixing a bug that exists on the "hammer" branch and that you
desire that your change be cherry-picked to that branch.
your commit should be cherry-picked to one or more stable branches. Then,
target the "master" branch in your pull request.

to indicate that you are fixing a bug that exists on the "jewel" and
"kraken" branches and that you desire that your change be cherry-picked to
those branches after it is merged into master.
