1) Create an issue in Bugzilla for it
  a) Assigned to original committer
  b) Set mfc-stableX flag to?

Committer can then set mfc-stableX flag to + when done, or set it to -
with comment about why not/invalid/inappropriate

If a branch is in feature freeze, issues should either:

- Have re@ CC'd so they can be informed of the request
- Have maintainer-approval ? re at FreeBSD.org set so that the release
engineering team can approve/deny changes

This is also the recommended method for changes that already have
bugzilla issues created for them.
