Re: [hibernate-dev] Hibernate ORM 5.2 backports

I've seen at least one jira comment asking if I approve backporting to 5.2, and I also remember seeing a PR that had "Requires Gail" label with a comment suggesting bugfixes in older branches (including 5.2) must be approved by me. I just wanted to make this clear so that bugfixes that should be backported don't fall through the cracks.
