Hi Michael,

I actually don't really understand what this means. Usually, you do a
down-port by first requesting it on the original bug by applying a
"jdk<release>u-fix-request" tag. Once the downport will be approved
(by application of a "jdk<release>u-fix-yes" tag), the corresponding
fix can be pushed to the updates repository. This push automatically
triggers the creation of the corresponding backport issue in JBS.

I don't know what it means for the downport process [1] if somebody
(apparently manually) creates a backport issue like
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8213164 ?

Volker
