-- `backport:prev-minor`: Automatically backport to one lower minor version.
-- `backport:prev-major`: Automatically backport to all minor version of one lower major version.
-- `backport:current-major`: Automatically backport to all minor version of the current major version.
 - `backport:all-open`: Automatically backport to all generally available versions. This functionally is equivalent to backport:prev-major at the time of writing.
 - `backport:skip`: This PR does not require backporting.
