We've come up with another document for interested people to review: the Backport policy[1].
Just as a process for reviewing RFPs was introduced this year, we've also set up a way to review requested backports. The first meeting to review these requests is in 2 weeks. In the meantime, have a look at the backport requests that we'll be reviewing[2].

Nice work, Mark. I've read the doc and added a link that I think may provide clarity.
Two things that are missing for me:
I can read how to indicate that I'd like to see something backported, but there is no way for me to find out when to expect a decision on if this will actually happen. Would it be possible to commit to a "will be reviewed within" time for "bugzilla issues with a merged patch in Gerrit that are marked as resolved fixed with the 'Backport_stable?' flag set'?
Secondly: Does this process only apply to MediaWiki core, or also to MediaWiki extensions that are tracked in Bugzilla.
Cheers!
