Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:17 nickm]:
 > (I did the full merge because this is one that historically we have
 given an automatic backport, on the theory that it is a good idea to keep
 all the branches together, and there are unlikely to be bugs here.)

 Thanks!

 I've documented this process on the wiki on our backports page:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/Backports#ImmediateBackports

 Some things worth noting:
 * backports happen after CI passes
 * GeoIP files, fallbacks, and authorities get backported immediately, feel
 free to add more things to the list
