moin,

we finally managed to add a cherry-pick validator to the sanity bot, so
i dared to open the 5.6 branch for staging again.

caveat: patchsets created before the final forward merge got a positive
review while they aren't cherry-picks. i don't suppose anyone would
stage such an old patchset as-is anyway, but please check.

note that there is an exception to the policy as well: the qt5 super
repo continues to operate in forward-merge mode also for the LTS branch.
you probably don't care unless you're in the release or CI team.

there is also another consideration: these off 5.6 integration runs of
course cost CI resources. maybe it would be smart as a matter of policy
to have a dedicated team do the staging in batches.
