Cherry-picks, once the merge request to the main branch is merged.

For example, for

	https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/merge_requests/5442

you'd click on 2b2c81a5 in "Detached merge request pipeline #429891703 passed for 2b2c81a5 23 hours ago", which takes you to

	https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/commit/2b2c81a551cf6e300578c48afec3e2589910b23b

which is the page for the commit.  Click on "Options" in the upper-right corner and select "Cherry pick", and cherry pick it to the release-3.6 branch.

If the cherry-pick cannot be done automatically, you'll have to do it by hand, in a tree checked out with the release-3.6 branch.  Do the cherry pick - if you're doing it from the command line, do it with "git cherry-pick -x" to include the "Cherry-picked from" text - and fix whatever needs to be fixed before committing.
