As far as I can tell none of those are fixes for user facing bugs.

We release what's ready when it's time - unless something critical is spotted.
I'd say those could well be merged and backported after the release.

Was that ever really discussed?   AFAIK it was put in place and nobody really
objected, because it is generally a good thing.

But at least my contributions have gone down a lot by the introduction of these
hurdles (ie. mandatory PRs, delays by CI tests and reviews and even - or mainly? -
the improved stability of master, because stuff now breaks in PRs and doesn't
hit the nightlies of master, where I'd fix them) as it multiplies the effort
required for each of them (many mostly small ones).
