Hi David,

+1 – an automated labelling would help. The baseRefName attribute could be 
requested from the GraphQL query [1], allowing to add/remove a “backport” label 
accordingly. Do you already have an idea of the labelling, such as  
“Backport_<target_branch>”?

Hello,
I have been reviewing PRs and notice that some titles of PRs in crude [BP-…] to 
indicate that the PR is a back port. Other PRs just have the same title, and it 
is not obvious as a reviewer whether the PR is a back port or a duplicate. I 
was thinking that a label for non master targeted PRs to indicate the version 
would help make back port PRs more obvious. I am happy to implement this if the 
community agrees; this could be done pretty easily in the existing community 
review github action, WDYT?
   Kind regards, David.
