Clarify which branch should be chosen for a patch

The documentation does not mention bugfixes must be applied on a maintained branch. This leads to thinking a bug on e.g. `v5.1.10` should be worked on the `5.1` (“higher than 4.4”) branch.

 Before working on a PR, you must determine on which branch you need to
 work:
 
-* ``4.4``, if you are fixing a bug for an existing feature or want to make a
-  change that falls into the :doc:`list of acceptable changes in patch versions
-  </contributing/code/maintenance>` (you may have to choose a higher branch if
-  the feature you are fixing was introduced in a later version);
+* If you are fixing a bug for an existing feature or want to make a change
+  that falls into the :doc:`list of acceptable changes in patch versions
+  </contributing/code/maintenance>`, pick the oldest concerned maintained
+  branch (you can find them on the `Symfony releases page`_). E.g. if you
+  found a bug introduced in ``v5.1.10``, you need to work on ``5.4``.
 
 * ``6.2``, if you are adding a new feature.
