Well every release branch was at one point master, and almost all
patches added to a release branch are first applied to master, so I
don't think the different is significant.

Yes, we regularly monitor the reports and act on them.
You can see these being fixed by the CID numbers in the patches in
master.
I hope this clarifies things,
