<div>Today, /backport does not create a pull request, or? It
only creates the backport branch; the pull request creation
is still a manual step - either a button press or a manual
process via git. So, will /backport in an open PR behave
differently from that and create the PR right away?<br>

<p>You are correct, the `/backport` command only creates the branch
and provides a link for creating the backport. That isn't
changing. When issuing `/backport` in a pull request the
difference is that the link appears as a comment on the pull
request instead of the commit.</p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks for clarifying!<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>
<p>Another aspect of this change is that the author can use it to
declare their intent of backporting the change to a certain
release, which reviewers have the opportunity to respond to
directly in the current review.</p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Okay, this could be useful.
