bug fixes: which branch?

What is the preferred strategy for handling bug fix PRs? Initial fix on master, and then a separate PR to backport to v1.7.x? Or the reverse? It doesn't look like v1.7.x is being merged into master regularly, so the matplotlib pattern (fix on maintenance, merge maintenance into master) seems not to be used here. Thanks. Eric

Fix on master then backport is the current strategy. -n
