Mark,

For the record the policy is documented here in our Release policy:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/#General_policy
~~~
Patch backports to stable branches are discussed on libc-stable, 
and any patch on master that doesn't change ABI or API is 
immediately suitable for backporting to a stable branch. It 
is polite to post your backport to libc-stable (in parallel 
with your commit) and explain the reason for the backport; 
this helps distro maintainers decide if they want to sync to
get the fix. 
~~~
I don't blame anyone for not finding it or knowing it, please always
feel free to ask such questions.

Cheers,
Carlos.
