The latest stable release unilaterally receives all fixes from `master`,
and the version prior to that receives the vast majority of those fixes
as time and bandwidth warrants. The oldest supported release line will receive
only security fixes directly.
All supported release lines will accept external pull requests to backport
fixes previously merged to `master`, though this may be on a case-by-case
basis for some older supported lines. All contested decisions around release
line backports will be resolved by the [Releases Working Group](https://github.com/electron/governance/tree/master/wg-releases) as an agenda item at their weekly meeting the week the backport PR is raised.
