#4146 has API changes, it cannot go to a patch release. If you disagree,
please explain.

#4142 still needs to be reviewed. `2.26.1` can be shipped with or without
it, both are fine. But it should not be a blocker for `2.26.1`.

Ramanathan, you can create the `2.26.x` branch from the `rel/2.26.0` tag,
and copy `.github/dependabot.yaml` changes from the `2.25.x` branch,
assuming Piotr already updated that to perform PATCH-level upgrades as he
suggested.
