to be sure:

branch of anytime when work on 8.x is to be started. 7.x is the very
same branch for 7.0 through 7.12 being it LTS or not. But as soon as LTS
status is achieved the next major version (8.x) must be started on
master or it won't work out.

You can push to tags whatever you like, commits don't have to be on any
branch.

git checkout -b tmp-sec-fixbranch 7.1.5-latest-tag
git hack/work
git commit -m 'finish sec release 7.1.6'
git tag -m 'backported sec fix for #3434' 7.1.6
git push origin --tags
git branch -d tmp-sec-fixbranch


If the argument is:
TYPO3 7.1.0 is just a cut of from the branch 7 development series then
it is perfectly reasonable to either
- not suppor this realease any longer
- add security fixes in terms of small commits which just get tagged
(get symbolic ref names) but are not published on any other branch than
the mainline developement branch, being it 7.x or master.
