On a backport, and backports

[Lindsay Roberts]

Have been in discussion about backporting a bug fix -
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356479 to 5.8.

The only documentation I could find on backport policy was
https://community.kde.org/Policies/Commit_Policy#Backport_bugfixes - which
is roughly as the URI implies: "backport bugfixes."

This particular bugfix is of medium complexity, reasonable importance and
has now been in master for quite some time, so I'd consider it a safe
candidate, but, would like to ask:

1) For some consensus before backporting this particular fix, and;
2) If the backport policy - natural grey area or no - should be somewhat
expanded on.
