Minor stuff

Patchsets analyzed but not backported: 10

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

Not backported due to one of the following:

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

Backport attempts: 2

Some time needed to determine whether it impacts 20.05 or the feasibility of the backport. And also attempts to backport not possible due to code conflicts.

• Bug 28200 - Net::Netmask 1.9104-2 requires constructor change for backwards compatibility
• Bug 28503 - When ReservesControlBranch = "patron's home library" and Hold policy = "From home library" all holds are allowed

Signoffs (testing submitted patches so they can move on to be integrated)

Note: an attempt usually 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.
