Comment:

 Submitting a patch that replaces the variable with
 `$new_allowlist_options`, and creates a reference of it at
 `$new_whitelist_options`. Unless a plugin goes out of its way to destroy
 the variable (which will only destroy the reference with the patch), this
 should seamlessly rename the variable.

 This is the first approach I mentioned in comment 2.
