@fwyzard , should this be merged along with cms-sw/cmssw#39312 ?

[cmsbuild]

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next IB/CMSSW_12_5_X/master IBs (tests are also fine). This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @perrotta, @dpiparo, @rappoccio (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)
