I've found a couple of replication related issues, but they're not as
small as MDEV-7780 that you've done.

https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-7416
https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-7130

Alternatively, pick another non-replication issue, if you'd like.

Right. Try to create a small test case for it.
Tests are under mysql-test/
The documentation is here: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/mysql-test/

I suspect that it might be a risky feature to have. So it might be that
we won't implement it after all.

No, it's not. MariaDB is now completely in git.
