I don't think the forward port would be needed. Each stable branch would have
its own changelog.
For instance, if you are on 19.11.x Changelog would contain:

# Unreleased

- bugfix X
- ...

# 19.11.01

- bugfix Y
- ...

#19.11.00

<release notes of major version>

And on master you would have

# Unreleased

- bugfix X
- bugfix Y
- ...

# 19.11.00

<release notes of major version>


I think it would be confusing to have bugfixes referenced twice or more in the
same file (once for master, once for stable, once for oldstable, ...). Stable
branches live their own life and I think it's ok if only them contain the
changes for minor releases.
