It would probably be better to have a way for the bug reporter to indicate *all* branches to which the bug applies, but I don't know if this is possible. Perhaps Ian can comment on that. I've investigated bugzilla, and can't find a way to have a multiple version selection. OTH, it's easy to have another field "backport needed", that could be used for that. I don't know if it's a good idea, I just throw it...
Actually, I don't have a strong personal preference for the technique of flagging a bug as needing to be backported. I am strongly desirous to see it implemented in some fashion, however. It will reduce the chances of a patch being dropped which should have been backported by simplifying the creation of reports to that effect. If an additional field raises no objections, then I say let us go ahead and implement it. Kind Regards, Chris
