The MAINTAINERS file specifies a difference between a
section that's Maintained vs Supported.

Do please remember there's a difference between a maintainer
and someone that's paid to support a particular thing.

My feeling is if you're a maintainer you can just say
"use the current version" and not spend even a moments
effort or thought on backports.

When you're getting paid however, different issues...

Then you get to say "you're not a customer of my company, I don't have to listen to you at all". (See Renesas with sh4 circa 2010.)
