So it looks all those got assigned:

CVE-2019-16217
CVE-2019-16218
CVE-2019-16219
CVE-2019-16220
CVE-2019-16221
CVE-2019-16222
CVE-2019-16223

Can upstream be conviced in some way to share more information on the
needed isolated fixes?

Regards,
Salvatore

That took longer than expected but I submitted 7 CVE ID requests into MITRE
tonight.  I'm having trouble matching the changesets to the vulnerabilities
(I know 3 of them only) which will make backporting harder.

Hi Salvatore,

relevant patches.  Definitely a festival of XSS going on for this one!

those back here and on team@s.d.o once known?

Wordpress has release 5.2.3 which fixes several security holes.

From 
https://wordpress.org/news/2019/09/wordpress-5-2-3-security-and-maintenance-release/

Security Updates
Props to Simon Scannell of RIPS Technologies for finding and disclosing two 
issues. The first, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in post 
previews by contributors. The second was a cross-site scripting vulnerability 
in stored comments.
Props to Tim Coen for disclosing an issue where validation and sanitization of 
a URL could lead to an open redirect.
Props to Anshul Jain for disclosing reflected cross-site scripting during media 
uploads.
Props to Zhouyuan Yang of Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs who disclosed a 
vulnerability for cross-site scripting (XSS) in shortcode previews.
Props to Ian Dunn of the Core Security Team for finding and disclosing a case 
where reflected cross-site scripting could be found in the dashboard.
Props to Soroush Dalili (@irsdl) from NCC Group for disclosing an issue with 
URL sanitization that can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
In addition to the above changes, we are also updating jQuery on older versions 
of WordPress. This change was added in 5.2.1 and is now being brought to older 
versions.
