I've added the following commits to Wireshark master in the past:

They are currently part of the 4.5 (bleeding edge) version of Wireshark, I was wondering when they would be part of an official release.

Thank you!

On the Wiki: Development/Roadmap

There were some guesstimates in here that will need to be updated:
Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Re: Stratoshark 0.9 and 1.0 release planning

Stratoshark 1.0 mentioned on Discord: https://discord.com/channels/88921418...
(Issue tracking this (?): 20342: Stratoshark should be able to open JSON and other logs locally

Note that on that Wiki page, it doesn't show a 4.5 release; it shows, under "Future Release Branches", Wireshark 5.0, which 1) is the release that the current main branch will turn into and 2) is not yet scheduled with a release date.

Thanks for your answers. Is there a process to request that certain changes be added to any of the upcoming 4.x releases?

The commits seem to be new features?

WSDG: 1.5. Releases And Distributions

Minor releases typically happen every six weeks and typically include bug fixes and security updates. Major releases happen about once a year and include new features and new protocol support.

WSDG: 3.10.9. Backporting A Change

When a bug is fixed in the master branch it’s sometimes desirable or necessary to backport the fix to a release branch.
