Amir, since you wrote a tool enhancement to scrape for possible
candidates, *if* we defined some sort of meta-data to describe
this sort of stuff on the cover letter:

Backport candidate: yes. Severe: absolutely not

It would be useful when scraping. Therefore, leaving the effort
to try to backport / feasibility to others. This would be different
than a stable Cc tag, as those have a high degree of certainty.

How about something like:

Backport-candidate: yes
Impact: low
