Early test scrub for WordPress 5.8

In the previous week we didn’t run the test scrub. That’s why the agenda stays the same for this week. Early test scrub for WordPress 5.8 will take place on 2021-04-16 13:30 in the core-test channel.

We’ll do manual testing of the below tickets, making sure there are no regressions:
