Contributors,

While going through this mailing list looking for missing 9.4 patches, I
realized that we don't track backpatches (that is, fixes to prior
versions) at all anywhere. Where backpatches are submitted by
committers this isn't an issue, but we had a couple major ones (like the
autovacuum fix) which were submitted by general contributors. The same
goes for beta fixes.

Should we add a "prior version" category to the CF to make sure these
don't get dropped? Or do something else?
