No objection. If you guys think it is a safe patch, it is good enough
for me, since it fixes a regression.

That would require a lot of time to complete this effort, IMO.
Anyone wanting to do it is welcome to do so, of course; but I prefer
the distributed approach where we try to remember about the branch
when posting/reviewing patches, and decide there and then whether
to backport it or not. And then ask about the few ones that we might
have missed using the 2-weeks-to-release heads up email.
