There were 7 failures during the nightly suite.

• Lint URLs. TestLint/TestStaticCheck failed with some could not analyze dependency and ... is unused (U1001). Previously, it was run against the master branch, so we didn't encounter this before. I don't think it is important, but cc @jordanlewis for sign off.
• pgjdbc. roachtest: pgjdbc failed #41886. The roachtest was not updated properly which was fixed by cmd/roachtest: pay attention to ignorelist in ORM tests #41906.

Signing off on Hibernate. There was a new Hibernate release that added new tests, so we have to update the blacklist.

Signing off on cancel (can't seem to check the checkbox on my phone though)
