Since this is taken care of now, AFAICT, I do have one additional
question. I reported the regression to LKML a day or so before 5.15.3
was cut. What should I have noticed to see that the regressing
changeset was going to 5.15 and where should I have said "hey please
don't ship this on 5.15 yet"?

I'd like to know what to do next time :)
