I just noticed that your text talks about 'backporting', and wondered if 
that is the clearest term to use.  To me, a 'backport' usually means 
porting a change or fix from the master or development branch to some 
older or more stable branch.  Whereas in your text I think it is the 
other way round, isn't it?  (I.e. the Emacs branch is more stable, and 
you are talking about porting a fix that someone has made in that branch 
to the Org master.)  So perhaps 'forward port' would be clearer?
