Indeed.  This is one possible starting point:
https://gist.github.com/joaotavora/2ed97f2ec85958986983d5cb78202770

The idea is to put the changes on a separate branch containing only that
one file in its right location, and then to merge that to master.

It's not necessary, and its impractical.  The commit that merges to
master could have a ChangeLog entry like this:

    * lisp/progmodes/lua-mode.ts: New file.
