Description

It will be probably very similar to https://forge.rust-lang.org/compiler/backports.html, except bootstrap team doesn't have sync meetings (anymore) so no sync backport decisions can be made during sync meetings.

Document the bootstrap team's backport process, omitting sync-meeting decisions, and consider the work complete when contributors can follow the resulting guidance.
