If you'd like to have fixes in the release branch, please base your
changes on the release-6.3 branch, but still target the master branch.
Kwrobot should comment that your branch is eligible for the 6.3 branch.
Once it is in master, ping Dave DeMarle and me (@ben.boeckel and
@demarle) and one of us will merge it into the release-6.3 branch.
