On the plus side, khw has very recently got PR#23921 merged, which fixes a regression in 5.42, so now could be a good time to get this done. I've updated the voting file with that PR and am in the process of looking for further candidates for back-porting. If anyone has any suggestions then feel free to send them my way, or add them to the voting file directly.
