Minor stuff

Patchsets analyzed but not backported: 15

This plus the backported patches gives and idea of the stream of patches to process.

Not backported due to one of the following:

severity too low considering this is the oldoldstable branch of Koha, quick analysis
missing dependencies/not affecting my branch
not enough benefits compared to the risks of regression

QA

Notes:

An attempt results in feedback provided on the bug. To ask if I correctly followed the test plan due to results that I couldn't interpret. Or if there is indeed an issue.
Partial QA is a way to contribute to a ticket that I can't QA alone but for which I can apply the test plan and run the QA script. Leaving the functional or code review for someone knowing that area.
