Yes, that is another way to tag a bug for backporting but that won't remind you in the same way as having an issue assigned to you. (Well, I guess that depends on wether you keep an eye on your assigned issues or not :-) )

For 8 that would probably work but for 9 it is to my knowledge not possible at the moment. So I trigger the downport to 8 and then step away. And eventually it's very likely that I forget to do the downport to 9 at the time there will be an update branch. So, when will an update branch be opened? Or what else can I do to not forget my potential fixes for JDK9 update releases, e.g. label my bug for some automatic integration?
