With the current jdk7u forest hgupdater configuration, a backport issue 
in the JDK JBS configuration would get created.

If that's not desired, the Project Lead should let the ops know.

Yeah, Fix Version is the other option, aside from using labels.

That's not quite correct:

"An individual with at least one OpenJDK Project role of Author or 
higher has sufficient cause to get a JBS account. A JBS account grants 
an individual general read and write access to issues, including the 
ability to file new issues, transitioning issues among the states of the 
workflow, adding comments, changing field values (including adding and 
removing labels). The holder of a JBS account can also be the assignee 
of an issue."
