      Sometimes it is necessary to backport two or more fixes that depend on each other. From the documentation, it is unclear how to do that if the /backport command is used in the commit message, so the branches for the PR are created in the openjdk-bots repo.

      1. For example for the first fix the backport is requested in the commit message:
      https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/84e12244a4ff82b3307a5ffe6fbe9dded7b08d86 see "/backport jdk17u-dev"
      2. For the request above the next PR is created:
          https://github.com/openjdk/jdk17u-dev/pull/928
      3. Now I would like to make a backport for the next fix, note that it depends on the previous:
      https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/fb6c992f325981c42c7f75109a6c9db7ca8715d8
      4. Is it possible to do?
