Agreed.  

One reason I often don't backport a bug is because I'm not sure if
there will be another bugfix release; if not, it's wasted effort, and
I wasn't sure if a 2.4.4 release was ever going to happen.  After
2.4.4, will there be a 2.4.5 or is that too unlikely?

I've done an 'svn log' on the modules I'm familiar with (curses, zlib,
gzip) and will look at backporting the results.

Grepping for 'backport candidate' in 'svn log -r37910:HEAD' turns up
30-odd checkins that contain the phrase:
