I find JIRA query language confusing at times. Some of us at Red Hat have scripted the JIRA clients
to produce reports for backports. Our latest attempt uses JIRA REST client:
  https://github.com/shipilev/jdk-backports-monitor/

...and it produces reports like these:
  https://builds.shipilev.net/backports-monitor/redhat-openjdk.txt

It uses special "redhat-openjdk" label to get issues on our radar. I should extend this to get
-oracle-only tagged issues there as well.

I'll join you. Have already put some "redhat-openjdk" tags on issues that should be uncontroversial,
and am proceeding to request backports for them.

Not sure who's approval you are seeking here :) I think objections and maintainer approvals are per
backport anyway.
