I added some comments to the Merge Request, perhaps you did not notice?

https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.3/merge_requests/15
> Looking at commit ids alone (e.g https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c/commit/eb6e47252aaf8abe29b207e7e1fe79ec95c49cf1) it is hard to track which version if MariaDB Connector C has this. In particular if it is on the upcoming MariaDB 10.3.14 or not.
> A Forwarded line like e.g. Forwarded: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-18019 would be nice.
