Yes, please!

I am not sure if there are really more regressions or if these just are
spotted more often because LTR are gaining more visibility and hence
testing (which is a good sign).

Maintenance of LTR right now depends on
1) organisations requesting bugfixes on existing contracts
2) backporting of bugs fixed in pre-release bugfixing of regular releases

I would very much appreciate if we were able to put more resources in
the long term maintenance of these releases.

Isn't that the case already? I always look at blocker priority issues
first which are assigned based on these criteria I think.
And while on the topic, IMHO crashes are in many cases even worse than
regressions.
