I prepared a tentative second backport branch based on two pull requests that I expect to merge before the release of 2.518.  Those two pull requests are:

* https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/10791

* https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/10800

I won't submit a backporting pull request for those two items until they have been merged to the master branch.

A second backport was created and merged to stable-2.516 as part of 2.516.1.  It include cherry picked commits from the pull request:

• [JENKINS-75834] limit the functionality to a specific reference

A release candidate build has finished and the release candidate will be published soon.
