I don't know what Django's backport policy actually is, but it would appear both 1.8 (LTS) and 1.10 are still in extended support [1]. This performance regression does seem like a viable candidate for v1.10.8 (based on how we do thing in OpenStack land at least). I can chase this up if no one else fancies doing it. I am also happy to add this to the documentation until that happens. > However, Patchwork is only documented to support v1.10 (as far as I know). Correct. However, Django v1.11 support should be Patchwork v2.1, which I'd expect to be releasing before years end (the 1.11 support patches are already there, but I need to track down a potential performance regression first). Stephen PS: Without a clear user, I think we should probably drop Django 1.6 and 1.7 support now. Will probably do that once 1.11 support is in there.
