Exactly that.
I'd suggest anyone who's interested in seeing Chromium supported to first
update it in unstable (and then work towards updated in bullseye-security).
I started doing just that: https://salsa.debian.org/dilinger/chromium (v96
and misc-fixes branches).
As a side note: If any of the system/* patches cause issues, feel free to switch
to the vendored copies. Vendoring in general is frowned upon since it requires
that
a fix in a libraries spreads out to all vendored copies, but for Chromium
there's
a steady stream of Chromium-internal security issues anyway, so for all
practical purposes it doesn't make a difference if the Chromium security
releases
also include a fix for a vendored lib like ICU.
Cheers,

I've got 96.0.4664.110 building on both bullseye and sid, and am currently
debugging some crashes. The only thing I had to vendor was some nodejs
libraries, although it's very tempting to take a chainsaw through the
various
patches and re-vendor a bunch of other libraries as Jeff suggested. Still on
the v96 branch of https://salsa.debian.org/dilinger/chromium
