Now that Mark has proposed a time for branching (which I am +1 to),
I'd like to propose something more specific here. I think that for
the short-term future, until we're closer to the point of an RC, that
we treat the entire 1.5 branch with the policy we usually apply to
non-core code. That is, we require one +1 from a full committer and
one +0 from any committer to do a backport. (And this can happen over
IRC or whatever and never even pass through the STATUS file, as long
as the votes are recorded in the backporting log message.)
