Me and Julia are working on a paper which evaluates use of Coccinelle
on backports, a preliminary draft of such paper can be found on github

uses of Linux backports [1] in the industry, for this we'd like to try
to get feedback as to where and how folks are using backports. Please
let me and Julia know -- or if the information is not sensitive please
feel free to just reply to this thread and share with others. All
feedback is greatly appreciated.
We use the backports project solely for testing. We build and test
nightly for a number of lab machines. Some are running recent
wireless-testing kernel, but a number of those run a relatively old FC19
kernel (3.11.1) for which we build backport brcm80211 drivers. We do
that for our internal tree and for the wireless-testing tree.
If you are OK in having us list or
generalize your usage please indicate so.
Go ahead and make your list ;-)
Regards,
Arend
We've just published one of our internal git trees that is actually
based on backports:
