The docstring for the function package-menu-filter-by-status says:
When called interactively, prompt for STATUS, which can be a
comma-separated string. If STATUS is empty, show all packages.
When called from Lisp, STATUS can be a string or a list of
strings. If STATUS is nil or the empty string, show all
packages.
However, when given a comma-separated string or a list of strings, it
doesn't work, because it applies a filter predicate that calls
string-match-p, which expects a regexp string.
Thanks for your work on Emacs.

Yup. I've now changed the command (in Emacs 28) to work as documented.
Hopefully nobody were relying on the previous, undocumented regexp-match
behaviour.
