Align backport wording with Supported Versions policy
Run the E2E test on kind / get-go-version (push) Failing after 1m14s
Run the E2E test on kind / build (push) Has been skipped
Run the E2E test on kind / setup-test-matrix (push) Successful in 3s
Run the E2E test on kind / run-e2e-test (push) Has been skipped

CodeRabbit flagged step 8's "backport... into all earlier supported
releases" as contradicting the doc's own Supported Versions section
("Only the most recent version of Velero is supported"). Wording-only
fix, no policy change.

5. The Security Team will also create a [CVSS](https://www.first.org/cvss/specification-document) using the [CVSS Calculator](https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.0). The Security Team makes the final call on the calculated CVSS; it is better to move quickly than making the CVSS perfect. Issues may also be reported to [Mitre](https://cve.mitre.org/) using this [scoring calculator](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator). The CVE will initially be set to private.
6. The Security Team will work on fixing the vulnerability and perform internal testing before preparing to roll out the fix.
7. A public disclosure date is negotiated by the Security Team and the bug submitter. We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible once a user mitigation or patch is available. It is reasonable to delay disclosure when the bug or the fix is not yet fully understood, or the solution is not well-tested. The timeframe for disclosure is from immediate (especially if its already publicly known) to a few weeks. For a critical vulnerability with a straightforward mitigation, we expect the report date for the public disclosure date to be on the order of 14 business days. The Security Team holds the final say when setting a public disclosure date.
8. Once the fix is confirmed, the Security Team will patch the vulnerability in the next patch or minor release, and backport a patch release into all earlier supported releases. Upon release of the patched version of Velero, we will follow the **Public Disclosure Process**.
8. Once the fix is confirmed, the Security Team will patch the vulnerability in the next patch or minor release. Per the **Supported Versions** policy above, only the most recent release line is supported, so no backport to earlier releases is guaranteed. Upon release of the patched version of Velero, we will follow the **Public Disclosure Process**.
