Cutting a release?

[Ivan Vučica]

Hi maintainers,

If you want, I can spend some time cutting a release. It has been a while since the last one. Do we need a one? Are there critical bugs we fixed? Are there critical bugs blocking the release?

There’s a pull request for icu-config removal that we could apply to -base. It might warrant a release.

If the answer is yes, if you can help me by updating the (non-autogenerated) pieces of the release notes, that would help me a bit.

If the answer is yes, I would be cutting the release on a weekend.
