Thanks for writing these up! These will be handy references that I'm sure I'll come back to many times.
Question: once I've marked my MR as "backport-needed" (and it is merged into master), whose responsibility is it to ensure that it gets merged into the latest release branch (e.g., ghc-8.8)? It it the responsibility of the person who made the MR originally, or is there a process in place for collecting these backport-needed patches into batches and merging them?
It is of course appreciated if people backport their own patches. However, I do intend on doing a sweep of the backport list and take care of anything I find while preparing the stable branch. I'll see to it that this is better documented. Cheers, - Ben
