I have little experience with git cherry-pick, so I am a little
hesitated to do it.  But I will try it anyway.

I saw some commits already backported on 2.29 branch.  Perhaps, I
should add one line to NEWS file as follows.

| Version 2.29.1
| 
| The following bugs are resolved with this release:
| 
|   [24155] x32 memcmp can treat positive length as 0 (if sign bit in RDX is set) (CVE-2019-7309)
|   [24164] Systemtap probes need to use "nr" constraint on 32-bit Arm
|   [24161] __run_fork_handlers self-deadlocks in malloc/tst-mallocfork2
|   [24211] Use-after-free in Systemtap probe in pthread_join
|   [24162] ja_JP LC_TIME: era offset for Taisho GanNen

Hmm, I will try it anyway.

By the way, is there a plan to release 2.29.1?
