Minor stuff

5 patchsets skipped quickly due one of the following

• missing dependencies
• severity too low considering this is the oldoldstable branch of Koha
• not enough benefits compared to the risk of regression

Investigated patches for backporting and backport attempts

Some time needed to determine whether it impacts 19.05 or the feasibility of the backport. And also attempts to backport not possible due to code conflicts.

• Bug 26078 - "Item returns to issuing library" creates infinite transfer loop
• Bug 25273 - Elasticsearch Authority matching is returning too many results
• Bug 18958 - If patron has multiple record level holds on one record transferring first hold causes next hold to become item level

Signoff related work (testing submitted patches so they can move on to be integrated)

Note: 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.

Misc tasks and work on tickets: Analysis or implementation

Bug 18974 - Cataloging MARC21 record and adding item selenium test

Rebase, improve and submit for approval

Bug 21507 - Decimal separators issues in patrons payments/fines, simplified
