Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > And, yes, we *are* using the ticket in the release process.
 s/ticket/tag
 > At the end there is no guarantee that things tagged with `tbb-backport`
 get backported.
 They should be re-tagged or cleared out of it every major stable update.
 And that should be documented and used as part of the release process.

 > Oh, and I updated
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/Hacking
 accordingly so that our use of `tbb-backport` is documented there.
 The hyperlink
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=!closed&keywords
 =~tbb-backport is a search query which lists `tbb-backported` too. That's
 why it cannot be used.

 Could you backport #32493 to get parity with tba?
