Figuring these details out was the point of this email thread,
unfortunately there hasn't been enough responses.

My view would be that any bugfix for a flyspray task would be a
candidate to go in the stable branch. Fixes which are too fiddly to
backport would probably miss out (or at that point we talk about a new
minor stable build (but 3.7.3 -> 3.8)).

I was really hoping to get more feedback, if no one cares about
talking about it there is a good chance no one will bother with the
work of keeping the stable branch updated and tested and working. This
simply wont work if only a few people look after the branch.
