Comment:

 I like the direction of those patches @garrett-eclipse, big fan of keeping
 it simple and grouped by relevance like that, some quick feedback from
 looking at them, and my first thoughts on what might need refining;

 The "back" link shouldn't come so close to the WordPress logo, since the
 logo is a link to WordPress.org, while the back link takes you to the main
 URL of that site. These two types of links should ideally be separated by
 a non-link element of some kind to avoid accidental navigation to the
 wrong place. (I saw your mention of this, so making note that the logo
 always links to WordPress.org, unless someone has changed this with code)

 Could we also get some mockups for the password reset, and password
 recovery screens, these should also have the language switcher available
 ideally, in case you somehow got the wrong language, or (after WordPress
 5.7) a reset link was sent directly to you, and you did not set your
 language from the login page.

 There are also more "back"-type links on those two pages, on the lost
 password screen for example there's the same link back to the front page,
 but also a link back to the login page, which perhaps need to be presented
 in a different way from the login view it self? (I don't know here, but
 bringing it up for the sake of completeness)
