Until needed, or until one of the official ends of the LTS (https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-5.15-extended-support-for-subscription-license-holders)

The reason why we made the Qt 5.15 Patch Collection is because we need
Qt 5 still and we needed to have a place to backport the work done
upstream.

I don't see why we would stop doing the work while we still needed.

I guess the official end of the LTS should just mean less and less
changes being produced for Qt 5 which should only simplify the task.

I imagine you have already seen it, but it's covered in here:
