Jacques, thanks for raising this point that I think is worth of some
clarifications and enhancements to get the best out of the Jira reports.

When we backport a patch to the 15.12 branch, the patch will be published
in the first release of that branch: and this is why we need the 15.12.01
version and we should set the "fix version" to 15.12.01 rather than 15.12

"Upcoming branch" should be used to mark all the issues that are
implemented in the trunk and not backported in the release branches; when,
at a later time, we create a new release branch from the trunk, this
release branch will of course contain all these enhancements/fixes; at that
point we should rename the "Upcoming branch" version into the name of the
first (future) release of the new branch and we should create a brand new
empty version with the name "Upcoming branch"

Frankly speaking, I don't remember if I have done this when I have created
the 15.12 branch, but I think it should be good to move some of the tickets
accordingly, specifically:
* change all the issues with the "fix version" set to "release 15.12" to
"15.12.01"
* move the issues with the "fix version" set to "upcoming branch", that
have been backported to the 15.12 branch, to the "15.12.01" version

I hope it makes any sense

Jacopo
