This has not been added yet to the next CF. As Ashutosh mentioned
things tend to be easily forgotten. So I have added it here:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/13/982/

I have noticed this typo on the way => s/requisted/requested/:
--- a/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c
+++ b/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c
@@ -2908,7 +2908,7 @@ keep_going:                       /* We will
come back to here until there is
            }

            /*

+            * If a read-write connection is requested check for same.
             */
            if (conn->target_session_attrs != NULL &&
                strcmp(conn->target_session_attrs, "read-write") == 0)

Looking at the patch, I agree with Ashutosh. Any fix should be located
in the code path of CONNECTION_CHECK_WRITABLE which is the one
consuming the results.
