No I understand, and I agree we should ask for bug fixes to be back ported.
I can even add this to my list of dev guide changes fit Geoserver.
Beyond that I am trying to see what kind of fixes we are missing. I know
Boundlesd staff would often focus on 2.7. I often focus just on GeoTools
master.
And 2.6? 
This attitude makes 2.6 useles since fixes are not ported over.
Is there any way we can improve our game and make this easier. Like discuss
backports when the fix is a pull request?
I believe my position is clear, fixes _must_ be backported otherwise 3
branches are useless.
I know it is a strong statement, but we need to find a (cooperative)
way to make this happen.
Just stating that if someone provides a fix he must also provide
backports might be too strong (although I would prefer it over
free will) hence I am open to see alternatives. On the other side,
discussing on the ML each single fix seems an overkill to me.
At the very least I believe that we shall ask people to investigate
and report on whether a fix can be backported and then encourage to do
the backport.
I would like to make the backport mandatory but it might be better to
make it recommended.
At the very least we need to make everyone responsible for:
-1- investigating if the issue impact all the active branches
-2- investigating whether a fix is possible
-3- capturing this in jira
Actual backporting can stay a volunteer based action for the time
being, I am keen in spending some of our time on doing that.

Long story short, IMHO no regular backports might lead to less
meaningful mantenaince releases.
I believe he means, no regular backports of bug fixes
