Frankly, I think it would be much better to do a 2.22.x release for the
needed fix : you'll get updated translations as a bonus and
distributions might be more willing to push it, rather than try to apply
a list of patches.

Moreover, each bug should have a reproducible testcase, otherwise they
might not pass QA team.
