Description

I think with https://help.github.com/articles/checking-out-pull-requests-locally/ and https://gist.github.com/piscisaureus/3342247#gistcomment-1566295 cherry-picker could do better and even backport rebase merges and normal merge commits.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reading the cherry-picker utility and the linked GitHub pull-request checkout and merge references to understand the current backport flow. Define how rebase merges and normal merge commits should be handled, then verify that both commit forms can be backported successfully.
