mmm... I think there are 2 sub-cases here:
 - library A, that uses Koha 3.6, find the bug and open it in rel_3_6
 - hacker B, that uses master, find the bug and open it in master (or in
rel_3_8 ? that's where there can be a confusion between master and rel_3_8)

right, this point is the problem. And I feel it's not solved by this
proposed workflow (not by the "need backporting as well")

not sure it will work well then... I think we haven't completly found
the "perfect" workflow

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...
