the guidelines can be found here: https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/JDKUpdates/How+to+contribute+or+backport+a+fix

Don't know if it mentions the policy wrt the copyright years. However, they need not be updated if the change itself didn't modify them. This keeps more backports clean.

For this one, it should be backported to JDK 21u first.
