The [official process for how to request push approval for a backport](https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk-updates/approval.html) describes in detail how to work with JBS when requesting approvals. In short, there's a label `jdk<release>u-fix-request` that should be added to the main JBS issue. Also put a motivation as to why the issue needs to be backported as a comment in the main issue. Once the label and motivation has been added, wait for the maintainers of the release to approve your request.

Yes. Thank you for reviewing! Added a sentence with the label.
