Now that #15761 has been merged, it would be nice to have tests for it. They can be written by copying the file ./test/functional/feature_backwards_compatibility.py
and modifying it to create a wallet with an older version, then check that it can be upgraded with a new version.
Useful skills:
Experience with the Bitcoin Core wallet and functional test suite.
