Which branch to apply backported fix

I recently had a small patch accepted and merged into master (thanks!) but I’d like to backport to the 27.x series. I’m not sure what ref to base the branch off, as there’s maint-27, otp-27.3.4.1, patch-base-27?

Thanks

It was almost trivial to backport (we did some refactoring) so that some of the code was in an other file. However I did the backport and scheduled if for next 27 patch (as we discussed it in the PR) which I am sure will happen just not for this reason. In general it is best to base your patches on released labels instead of branches. If it is possible to base it on a label that that is green in the OTP versions tree that is preferable, but not always possible.
