 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 from the maintained branches
+  (you can find them on the `Symfony releases page`_) the oldest concerned
+  one. E.g. if you found ``v5.1.10`` introduced a bug, you need to work
+  on ``5.4``.
 
 * ``6.2``, if you are adding a new feature.
