[GRASS-dev] GitHub backport label proposal

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Markus,

For the MapServer project, I enabled the following names, which seems to 
make sense, as it references the actual branch name (as in 'branch-8-0') 
in the label name, such as:

   backport branch-6-4
   backport branch-7-4
   backport branch-7-6
   backport branch-8-0

This seems to work very well (no questions from the various devs).
