I'm mostly a casual contributor, mostly dealing with fixes to bugs found
in specific releases. I'm doing my fixes in those releases. Because
that's where I need them. If I could just then push it and more or less
forget about it, that's the thing that would make it easier.

This seems to me that I need to move the fix forward to dev, then push
it, then backport it. I might not even have a dev build handy. Because
I'm basing my work on top of something released.
