Antoine: Thanks for the correction.  I was mistaken about versions some months ago and wrote such misleading comments in a handful of bugs.  It has been corrected in some of them but not all.

v_peter: You don’t have to do anything, it’s the job of the committer to do the backport.  We use a tool (svnmerge) for that, so additional patches wouldn’t help.  If a backport is difficult, for example because of bytes/characters issues in 2.x, the committer may ask for help or feedback.

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been rather taken by the start of year and other bugs.  Be sure your fix will be in the next releases for all three branches.
