You main backporting tool is "git cherry-pick -x", the process of cherry-picking is straightforward assuming that you have a working merge-changelog referenced by .gitattributes file. When a cherry-picked commit fixes a bug, the commit has to be amended to explicitly list this fixed bug in "Version 2.27.1" part of NEWS. You can look at the output of git log -p glibc-2.27..glibc-2.27-27-gb63daad -- NEWS command to get an idea how this works. If you are going to list languages supporting the genitive case of month names, a new section should be within "Version 2.27.1" part of NEWS, too. Hope this helps, -- ldv
