Description

I tried to trigger backporting https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/114558 to 3.12 several times. Every time @miss-islington reports that it starts working, but do not produce any output.

Backporting to 3.11 failed due to conflicts, and this was reported.

It successfully creates backports to 3.12 for other PRs.

Research direction

Reproduce the 3.12 backport request for CPython PR 114558, then compare its handling and reporting with the known 3.11 conflict case. Done means a failed or silent 3.12 attempt produces useful output while successful 3.12 backports remain unaffected.
