How to request for backport runtime to coreclr?

[xiangzhai]

Hi,

OpenJDK is able to request for backport to jdk8u, for example, JDK-8238380 backport jdk-15 to jdk8u-dev by adding label: jdk8u-fix-request.

But how to request for backport runtime to coreclr? Is there some guidelines for working on coreclr or best practices for coreclr backports just like jdk8u?

Thanks,

I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.

There's no formal mechanism. The common way of doing this is to find the original tracking issue and leave a comment describing how it's impacting you and why the patch should be backported. We don't tend to backport entire features, but we do occasionally backport reliability fixes depending on how impactful they are.

What did you have in mind?

I agree+1

We will not backport, for example, Compile with gcc 4.8 to coreclr.
