Comment:

 Thanks for this branch.
 It looks good to me, but I'd like to make sure that CI passes, and that
 someone who is more familiar with this code also does a review.

 Please don't assign tickets to releases, we'll do that based on our
 roadmap for the release.
 (This task is on our roadmap as sponsored work, so we will prioritise
 reviewing it before the feature freeze on Friday.)

 Can you explain the fix in 5d27c458 in the commit message and changes
 file?
 Each fix and feature also gets its own ticket number.
 We usually open a child ticket for each unrelated fix in a branch.

 Or is this change just refactoring?
 For refactoring, the changes file should have the heading:
 Code simplification and refactoring
