The section:
http://cpython-devguide.readthedocs.io/committing.html?highlight=backport#backporting-changes-to-python-3-6-or-older-version
has instructions on how to apply a patch to master, which is not desirable in the current workflow. We should be working on branches other than master.

I think this should be updated somehow. Maybe also consider merging it with the next section http://cpython-devguide.readthedocs.io/committing.html?highlight=backport#backport-and-cherry-pick-labels

I'd suggest updating it to show using git log -10 --oneline to get a list of the recent commit hashes and the first line of their commit messages.

Remove the part about merging into master.
Remove the part about prefixing the PR title with `X.Y`, cherry_picker.py already does this.

Closes #173
