[QGIS-Developer] Missing fixes in 3.40 branch: commits merged to queued_ltr_backports not subsequently merged to release-3_40

[Andrea Giudiceandrea]

Hi all,
I've recently noticed that, for unknown reasons, some commits merged to 
the queued_ltr_backports branch on March have not been subsequently 
merged to the release-3_40 branch leaving the issues not fixed in QGIS 3.40.

Particularly, the PR "Fix regression from57255" 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/61011 by Loïc Bartoletti was merged to 
master on March 20th and the "[Backport queued_ltr_backports] Fix 
regression from57255" https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/61105 was merged 
on the same day to the queued_ltr_backports branch.

However it looks like the relative commits were not included in the PR 
"Queued LTR backports" https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/61150 by Nyall 
Dawson merged to the release-3_40 branch on March 23th. They are not 
even in the "Queued ltr backports" 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/61574 by Nyall Dawson merged to the 
release-3_40 branch on April 22th.

After a non exhaustive check, it seems to me that also the following 
ones, all merged to the queued_ltr_backports branch on March 20th, have 
not been subsequently merged to the release-3_40 branch:

- "[Backport queued_ltr_backports] [GDAL] Deal with [C]Float16 of GDAL 
3.11 as [C]Float32" https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/61099
  - "[Backport queued_ltr_backports] Add special handling for geocentric 
CRS in QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::toGeographicCrs()" 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/61097
- "[Backport queued_ltr_backports] profile tool: clear the measure tool 
when a new profile is set" https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/61095

I fear that the same issue might have been occurred for other PRs, but I 
don't know how it is possible to find the affected ones without manually 
check one by one.

I hope those 2 moths old fixes could be finally merged to the 
release-3_40 branch in time for the release of QGIS LTR 3.40.7 (which is 
planned for tomorrow).

Best regards.

Andrea
