cherry_picker.py and miss-islington will backport from master to newest
branch first.
So master -> 3.7, then master -> 3.6, and master -> 2.7.
It does not backport from 3.7 -> 3.6.

When doing it manually yourself, you should be able to backport from master
-> 3.6 first and then master -> 3.7, it doesn't matter.
