Sorry, I misremembered that the patch to make default partition
pruning more aggressive was not backpatched, because I thought at the
time that the patch had turned somewhat complex, but indeed it was
backpatched; in 11.5 release notes:

Prune a partitioned table's default partition (that is, avoid
uselessly scanning it) in more cases (Yuzuko Hosoya)

Sorry for the noise.

I think it's okay for her name to appear first even considering the
commits that only appear in PG 13, because my role was mainly
reviewing the work and perhaps posting an updated version of her
patch.
