Since SERVER-91094 all the backports to v7.0, v6.0, and v5.0 require the release team approval.
We're currently allowing backports to these three branches for the following:
- test-only changes
- fixes for serious issues
- SSDLC work
- Querystats
Additional guidance for backporting a fix has been added to the Database SERVER Backports wiki
To simplify the merge process for the test-only fixes "jstests" directory will be excluded from the list of PRs requiring approvals from the release team.
