Comment:

 This needs to be fixed on the Gutenberg side, where they need to use the
 `capability` argument instead of the `who` argument (which uses a
 deprecated query arg under the hood). `who` should be maintained as-is for
 backward compatibility.

 This has been reported at
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39986 before, so I recommend
 chiming in there to fix it in the block editor.
