[python-committers] Re: GitHub: remove the "needs backport to 3.5" label?

Sorry for posting on this very old thread, but it looks like we are using "Backport to X.Y" labels to also backport PRs and is needed as a trigger for the automation (miss-islington) to work.

I am not sure if this automation existed when this label was retired, but it looks useful to me now.

Yes, there are a very few PRs with security fixes that come up and can be manually backported, but I wonder if it hurts having the label around?

thanks, Abhilash
