| 3 | 4 | Loïc Dachary | Although this can be done by the backporter when (s)he notices an issue should be backported, it is usually done by the original developer when (s)he realizes the fix must be backported. |

| 5 | 2 | Loïc Dachary | * Add the name of the release to the comma separated list of release in the **Backport** field of the issue (see "journal Unable to read past sequence 406":http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/6003 for instance). |

| 18 | 7 | Nathan Cutler | Calling for backport by including a line like <code>Backport: firefly</code> in the commit message is discouraged because the commit message is immutable. An issue in the *Backport* tracker of the corresponding project at http://tracker.ceph.com/ should be created instead. Or, if the commit is associated with an existing issue, the *Backport* field should be updated with a comma-separated list of desired backports. Use release code names, not version numbers. |
