I just approved https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/23075 which adds a
missing system test for 4.4.0 change. Can I cherry-pick it to 4.4 branch
after merging to `trunk`?

Hi Chia-Ping,
Thanks for digging into this. There are far too many tricky cases in this area
I feel.
Thanks,

hi Andrew
I just reviewed and backported https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/23014, but
unfortunately I noticed another busy loop. I have created
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20970, which is a blocker too, to
handle that busy loop.
The ticket is already assigned to Ken, and I think we can tackle it soon.

address one of the 4.4 blockers.
It should also be cherry-picked to 4.4.
Thanks,

Hi all
Code freeze for Apache Kafka 4.4.0 is now in effect.
From this point on, the 4.4 release branch will only accept fixes for blocker
bugs. No new features or non‑critical changes should be merged into this branch
until the 4.4.0 release is complete.
Release plan:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/spaces/KAFKA/pages/429064575/Release+Plan+4.4.0
We’ll start the vote on the first RC soon, once we’ve scanned all Jira tickets
to move out incomplete items and chased down the flaky tests we’ve found.
If you believe a change qualifies as a blocker or requires an exception, please
discuss it on this list and coordinate with Chia‑Ping or me before merging
anything into the 4.4 branch.
Thanks everyone for your contributions so far.
Best,
Omnia
