Do we create Jira Backport "bugs" for Skara /backport jdk17u-dev issues?

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Yes, you only need to create a backport bug by hand if you 
want to backport a CSR.  And only if you want to create a CSR.

> jdk17u-fix-request to the "original" bug, but if you use original
> bug->Create backport it labels the Backport bug with the
> "jdk17u-fix-request".
The normal proceeding is to first make the CSR, and only if 
the CSR is done (and the pr is available, tested and reviewed)
add the jdk17u-fix-request label.
Adding that label is the last to do, because then it starts
to pop up in my filter ��
Please just delete the label form the Backport issue.

It was good to check whether these changes are fit for
17u before doing all the work!

Best regards,
  Goetz.
