As it showed up as a regression in qemu-nbd, I can also consider queuing
it in my NBD tree. However, I claim it counts as a bug fix, so it is
fine for -rc1 even if it misses soft freeze.
I'm fine whichever maintainer takes this, although I've now flagged it
to go through an NBD pull request if it doesn't land elsewhere sooner.
