@gianm thanks i had to add a username var, i guess it works for you since your remote_name == user_name, which is not my case where i use origin. Small fix i added myusername=b-slim
then

{
  "title"     : $title,
  "head"      : "$myusername:$backport",
  "base"      : "$base",
  "body"      : "Backport of #$pr to $base.",
  "milestone" : "$milestone",
  "labels"    : ["Backport"]
}
