See below.

Yep. technically this should amount to a single change to a single
file (See below). The important part is making the right decision for
each project, understanding its consequences, and realizing the
actions that would be needed for changing that decision in the future.

There is only one file** you need to maintain that is (currently) not
in your own project's repo***.
Each project has such a file at [1].

Documentation for the contents of that file can be found here: [2].

There is no need to copy-paste much - the existing file should contain
a mapping of project branches to oVirt versions. Typically what would
be needed is just to add a single entry to the map. For example, for
engine it would be****:

    version:
        - master:
            branch: master
        - 4.2:
            branch: master
           ...

** Bigger projects can spread configuration across multiple files, but
this is rarely needed.
*** This applies only to Gerrit projects. GitHub projects have
everything configured in their own repo. See [3].
**** Specifically for engine, the map appears twice in the file, this
should probably be re-factored.
