Patches may be nominated for future 1.9.x releases using the process outlined below. - * **Do not push to server-1.9-branch.** - * Patches for 1.9 must be in master first.

Reply to the original patch email, placing the branch maintainer in TO and CC-ing the list. Make sure that the subject line contains `[PATCH 1.9]`. - * For multiple patches: Create a local branch and cherry-pick the patches required (Always use cherry-pick -x). Push this branch to your people.freedesktop.org repository and send a pull request to the stable branch maintainer, CC-ing the list. Make sure the subject line contains `[PULL 1.9]`. - * Only regressions over the previous stable will be accepted between the final rc and the release.
