CSR approval process for backports

[Hohensee, Paul]

Would it perhaps be better to create a manual backport issue for the CSR first, get that approved, then follow the normal process for the backport itself?

    Hi,
    
    The updates wiki pages states:
    
    "If a change requires CSR approval, that approval must be obtained prior 
    to making the push approval request."
    
    but the CSR approval process for a backport is not defined anywhere as 
    far as I can see. After discussion with the CSR Group lead it seems the 
    expectation is that a manual backport issue must be created first, and 
    then a CSR for that backport can be created. can this information be 
    added to the updates page and/or the CSR FAQ and linked from the updates 
    page.
    
    Thanks,
