Why not simply ask in a bug comment? 

"Thanks for the f19/f20 updates, but I reported against f18, is there
any way you can backport this fix to f18 for me please?"

I think most maintainers would answer that and try and accommodate you.
Perhaps they missed that it was filed against f18, or they thought that
you just wanted it fixed in newer releases, etc.
